ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF No. 135)

Respondents.
In this capital habeas corpus action, after an initial period of 119 days, and extensions of

9 60 and 62 days, the respondents were due to file their answer by September 13, 2021. See Order
10 entered January 15, 2021 (ECF No. 130) (initial 119-day period); Order entered May 17, 2021
11 (ECF No. 132) (60-day extension); Order entered July 14, 2021 (ECF No. 134) (62-day
12 extension). On September 13, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.
13 134), requesting a further 45-day extension, to October 28, 2021. Respondents’ counsel states
14 that the extension is necessary because of her obligations in other cases. The petitioner does not
15 oppose the motion. Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not
16 solely for the purpose of delay, and there is good cause for the extension of time.
17

I THEREFORE ORDER that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF

18 No. 135) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including October 28, 2021, to file
19 their answer. In all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings set forth in the order
20 entered November 26, 2018 (ECF No. 85) will remain in effect.
