ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

v.

(ECF No. 186)

WILLIAM REUBART, et al.,
Respondents

11
12

In this capital habeas corpus action, after a 180-day initial period (see ECF No. 179),

13

a 120-day extension of time (see ECF No. 182), and a 62-day extension of time (ECF No. 185),

14

Respondents were to file an answer by November 21, 2022.

15

On November 16, 2022, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 186)

16

requesting a further 60-day extension, to January 20, 2023, to file their answer. Respondents’

17

counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his obligations in other cases,

18

and because of anticipated time away from the office. Respondents’ counsel states that

19

Petitioner Travers A. Greene, who is represented by appointed counsel, does not oppose the

20

motion for extension of time. The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is

21

made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and there is good cause for an

22

extension of time. The Court—while taking note that Respondents now will have had well over

23

a year to file their answer—will grant Respondents’ motion for extension of time as requested.
