In this capital habeas corpus action, after a 120-day initial period and a 62-day

15

extension of time, the respondents were due to file an answer by October 11, 2021.

16

See Order entered April 12, 2021 (ECF No. 143) (120 days for answer); Order entered

17

August 4, 2021 (ECF No. 145) (62-day extension of time).

18

On October 7, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

19

No. 146), requesting a further 30-day extension, to November 10, 2021. Respondents’

20

counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his obligations in

21

other cases. Petitioner 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.
