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

10 filed motions for leave to conduct discovery and for an evidentiary hearing. ECF Nos. 200, 202. On
11 January 16, 2024, February 29, 2024, and April 15, 2024, the respondents moved for an extension
12 of time to respond to these motions and to file their surreply to Greene’s second-amended
13 petition. ECF Nos. 203, 205, 207. I granted the requests, giving the respondents until March 7,
14 2024, April 22, 2024, and then May 22, 2024, to file their responses and surreply. ECF Nos. 204,
15 206, 208. The respondents now request another extension, requesting a 14-day enlargement of
16 time, explaining that the extension of time is necessary because of obligations in other cases. ECF
17 No. 209. The respondents’ counsel states that Greene’s counsel does not oppose the motion for
18 extension of time. I find that the respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith
19 and not solely for the purpose of delay and that there is good cause for the extension of time;
20 however, any further requests for an extension of this deadline will be viewed unfavorably.

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

22 No. 209] is GRANTED. The respondents will have up to and including June 5, 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.
