15
In this habeas corpus action, brought by Nevada prisoner Debaron Sanders, the respondents
16
were due to file a response to Sanders’ habeas petition on November 2, 2015. See Order entered
17
September 17, 2015 (ECF No. 10). Respondents did not file a response by that date.
18
On November 10, 2015, respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 11),
19
requesting that the time for their response be extended by 45 days, to December 17, 2015.
20
Respondents’ counsel states that respondents missed the due date for the filing of the response to the
21
petition because of a calendaring error.
The court finds that respondents have shown excusable neglect. See LR 6-1(b). The court
22
23
finds, further, that respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for
24
the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time respondents request.
