ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF No. 137)

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

9 60, 62, and 45 days, the respondents were due to file their answer by October 28, 2021. See
10 Order entered January 15, 2021 (ECF No. 130) (initial 119-day period); Order entered
11 May 17, 2021 (ECF No. 132) (60-day extension); Order entered July 14, 2021 (ECF No. 134)
12 (62-day extension); Order entered September 14, 2021 (ECF No. 136) (45-day extension). On
13 October 28, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 137), requesting a
14 further 32-day extension, to November 27, 2021. Respondents’ counsel states that the extension
15 is necessary because of her obligations in other cases. The petitioner does not oppose the motion.
16 Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose
17 of delay, and there is good cause for the extension of time.
18

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

19 No. 137) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including November 29, 2021, to file
20 their answer. In all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings set forth in the order
21 entered November 26, 2018 (ECF No. 85) will remain in effect.
