13

In this capital habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Randolph L. Moore, filed a second

14

amended habeas petition on July 15, 2019 (ECF No. 59). After a 32-day extension of time,

15

Respondents’ respond to the second amended petition was due October 15, 2019. See Order

16

entered February 5, 2019 (ECF No. 51); Order entered September 10, 2019 (ECF No. 64).

17

On October 9, 2019, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 65),

18

requesting a second extension of time, this one 62 days, to December 16, 2019, to respond to

19

Moore’s second amended petition. Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is

20

necessary because of the complexity of this case and his obligations in other cases. Moore does

21

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

22
23

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

24

requested.

25

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time

26

(ECF No. 65) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including December 16, 2019, to

27

respond to the petitioner’s second amended habeas petition.
