WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

14

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

15

of time of 62, 30, 30, and 60 days, the respondents were due to file an answer by

16

February 8, 2022. See Order entered April 12, 2021 (ECF No. 143) (120 days for

17

answer); Order entered August 4, 2021 (ECF No. 145) (62-day extension); Order

18

entered November 1, 2021 (ECF No. 147) (30-day extension); Order entered November

19

8, 2021 (ECF No. 149) (30-day extension); Order entered December 16, 2021 (ECF No.

20

151) (60-day extension).

21

On February 8, 2022, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

22

No. 152), requesting a further 62-day extension of time, to April 11, 2022. Respondents’

23

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

24

other cases and time away from work. Petitioner does not oppose the motion for

25

extension of time.

26

The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good

27

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

28

requested extension of time.
