Respondents.

17

This is a counseled habeas corpus action under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The court has granted

18

respondents motion to dismiss. ECF No. 97. The court directed petitioner to decide what to do

19

with the unexhausted ground 2(D). Id. at 8. Petitioner now has filed a motion to extend time for

20

response to court order. ECF No. 98. Counsel asks for an additional 10 days to receive a sworn

21

declaration from petitioner about what to do with ground 2(D), because of the limited ability for

22

counsel and petitioner to communicate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Good cause exists to

23

grant the motion.
