Petitioner,

JERRY HOWELL, et al.,

Respondents.

11

In this habeas corpus action, Petitioner Steven Nelson Murray, represented by

12

appointed counsel, has filed a Motion for an Evidentiary Hearing. (ECF No. 85).

13

Respondents have filed a Motion for Extension of Time requesting a thirty-day extension

14

of time to respond to the motion. (ECF No. 86). Respondents’ counsel states that the

15

extension is necessary because she is relatively new to the case. Murray does not oppose

16

the motion. The Court finds that the motion is made in good faith and not solely for the

17

purpose of delay and that there is good cause for the extension. The Court will therefore

18

grant the motion. However, the Court will not look favorably upon any additionally motions

19

to extend this deadline.

20

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

21

(ECF No. 86) is GRANTED. Respondents will have up to and including June 17, 2020,

22

to file their response to the Motion for Evidentiary Hearing.
