ORDER

5 v.
6 William Gittere, et al.,
7

Respondents

9

Petitioner, through counsel, moves to extend time to file his response to the respondents’

10 motion to dismiss (ECF No. 135). ECF No. 137. The motion appears to be filed in good faith and
11 not solely for the purpose of delay. In addition, petitioner’s counsel represents to the Court that
12 opposing counsel does not oppose the extension. The Court will grant the motion but notes that
13 the extension will set a deadline for the response that is approximately eight months from the date
14 the motion to dismiss was filed. Thus, the Court is not inclined to grant further extensions beyond
15 this one.
16

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion to extend time to file his response

17 to the respondents’ motion to dismiss (ECF No. 137) is GRANTED. The response is due February
18 20, 2024. No further extensions will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
19

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner’s prior motion for extension of time (ECF No.

20 136) is denied as moot.
