In this capital habeas corpus action, on December 21, 2023, petitioner Travers A. Greene

11 filed motions for leave to conduct discovery and for an evidentiary hearing. ECF Nos. 200, 202. On
12 January 16, 2024, and February 29, 2024, the respondents moved for an extension of time to
13 respond to these motions and to file their surreply to Greene’s second-amended petition. ECF
14 Nos. 203, 205. I granted the requests, giving the respondents until March 7, 2024, and then April
15 22, 2024, to file their responses and surreply. ECF Nos. 204, 206. The respondents now request
16 another extension, requesting a 30-day enlargement of time, explaining that the extension of time
17 is necessary because of obligations in other cases. ECF No. 207. The respondents’ counsel states
18 that Greene’s counsel does not oppose the motion for extension of time. I find that the
19 respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of
20 delay and that there is good cause for the extension of time.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the respondents’ motion for extension of time [ECF

22 No. 207] is GRANTED. The respondents will have up to and including May 22, 2024, to file their
23 response to the motion to conduct discovery, their response to the motion for an evidentiary
24 hearing, and their surreply to Greene’s second-amended petition.
