Order Granting
Motion for Extension of Time

v.
William Gittere, et al.,

[ECF No. 196]
Respondents

In this capital habeas corpus action, the respondents filed an answer on January 27, 2023

10

(ECF No. 190). Then, after a 180-day initial period (see ECF Nos. 179, 189), a 61-day extension of

11

time (see ECF No. 193), and a 30-day extension of time (see ECF No. 195), petitioner Travers A.

12

Greene, who is represented by appointed counsel, was to file a reply to the answer by

13

October 25, 2023.

14

On October 25, 2023, Greene filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 196),

15

requesting a 58-day extension, to December 22, 2023, to file his reply. Greene’s counsel states

16

that the extension of time is necessary because of her recent appointment as interim chief of the

17

capital habeas unit in Little Rock, Arkansas, and because of her obligations in other cases in this

18

district. Greene’s counsel states that respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of

19

time. The court finds that Greene’s motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not

20

solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time.

21

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for extension of time

22

[ECF No. 196] is GRANTED, nunc pro tunc, to the date of the request. Petitioner will have

23

until and including December 22, 2023, to file his reply to the answer. In all other respects, the

24

schedule for further proceedings set forth in the order entered December 6, 2019 (ECF No. 113)

25

will remain in effect.
