In this capital habeas corpus action, on May 19, 2023, the petitioner, Randolph L.

12

Moore, who is represented by appointed counsel, filed his reply to Respondents’ answer

13

(ECF No. 166), along with a motion for leave to conduct discovery (ECF No. 168) and a

14

motion for evidentiary hearing (ECF No 170). After a 30-day initial period (ECF No. 51)

15

and a 45-day extension of time (ECF No. 172), Respondents had until August 4, 2023,

16

to file a response to Moore’s reply and responses to his motions for leave to conduct

17

discovery and for evidentiary hearing.

18

On July 27, 2023, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

19

173), requesting a further 60-day extension of time, to October 3, 2023, for their

20

response to Moore’s reply and responses to Moore’s motions. Respondents’ counsel

21

states that he needs this extension of time because of his obligations in other cases.

22

Respondents’ counsel represents that Moore does not oppose the motion for extension

23

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

24
25

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

26

requested extension of time.
