Respondents.
_____________________________/

15

In this habeas corpus action, brought by Nevada prisoner Beau Brown, the respondents are

16

due to file an answer, responding to the claims remaining in Brown’s first amended petition for writ

17

of habeas corpus, by March 14, 2016. See Order entered November 9, 2015 (ECF No. 47); Notice of

18

Abandonment of Claims, filed December 10, 2015 (ECF No. 48); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d)

19

(adding three days when service is by electronic means); Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(1)(C) (deadline falling

20

on weekend).

21

On March 7, 2016, respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 49), requesting

22

an extension of time to April 8, 2016 -- a 25-day extension of time -- to file their answer.

23

Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is necessary primarily because of the number

24

of claims remaining in Brown’s amended petition. Respondents’ counsel states that Brown’s

25

counsel does not oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court finds that respondents’ motion

26

for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is

1

good cause for the extension of time requested. The Court will grant the motion for extension of

2

time.

3

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time

4

(ECF No. 49) is GRANTED. Respondents shall have until and including April 8, 2016, to file an

5

answer, responding to the claims remaining in Brown’s first amended petition for writ of habeas

6

corpus.

7

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, in all other respects, the schedule for further

8

proceedings set forth in the order entered November 9, 2015 (ECF No. 47) shall remain in effect.
