ORDER GRANTING MOTION

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

14

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

15

by August 10, 2021. See Order entered April 12, 2021 (ECF No. 143) (120 days for

16

answer).

17

On July 30, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

18

144), requesting a 62-day extension, to October 11, 2021, to file their answer.

19

Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his

20

obligations in other cases. This would be the first extension of this deadline. Petitioner

21

does not oppose the motion for extension of time.
The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good

22
23

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

24

requested extension of time.
