ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

In this capital habeas corpus action, the respondents were due to file an amended answer

9 to Petitioner Curtis Guy’s second amended habeas petition by July 25, 2022. See Order entered
10 May 25, 2022 (ECF No. 152) (60 days to file amended answer).
11

On July 25, 2022, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 154),

12 requesting a 60-day extension, to September 23, 2022. Respondents’ counsel states that the
13 extension of time is necessary because she was only assigned this case in May 2022, and because
14 of her obligations in other cases. Respondents’ counsel represents that the petitioner does not
15 oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension
16 of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause
17 for the requested extension of time.
18

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

19 No. 154) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including September 23, 2022, to file
20 their amended answer.
