ORDER GRANTING MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF NO. 115)

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, the respondents filed a motion to dismiss

14

(ECF No. 71) on April 2, 2020. The petitioner, Randolph L. Moore, was due to respond

15

to that motion by June 1, 2020. See Order entered February 5, 2019 (ECF No. 51) (60

16

days for response).

17

On June 1, 2020, Moore filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 115),

18

requesting a 60-day extension of time, to July 31, 2020, to respond to the motion to

19

dismiss. Moore’s counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of the

20

complexity of this case and because of his obligations in other cases. This would be the

21

first extension of this deadline. Respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of

22

time.
The Court finds that Moore’s motion for extension of time is made in good faith

23
24

and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for an extension of

25

time.

26

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Extension of Time

27

(ECF No. 115) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have until and including July 31, 2020, to

28

respond to the motion to dismiss.
