Manuel Melendez,

Petitioner

v.

Dwight Neven, et al.,

Order Granting Motion for Extension
of Time
[ECF No. 12]

8

Respondents

9
10

Respondents request a 90-day extension of time to respond to Manuel Melendez’s § 2254

11

petition. Respondents’ counsel states that the extension is necessary because of her existing caseload

12

demands. I find that respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely

13

for purposes of delay, so I grant the request. However, because of the length of the extension and

14

because this is the third extension that respondents have sought, no further extensions to file the

15

response will be given absent extraordinary circumstances.

16

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondents’ motion for extension of time

17

[ECF No 12] is GRANTED. Respondents’ response to Melendez’s petition is due by April 23,

18

2017.
