Respondents

Brandon Kale Harris filed an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus on February 24,

10
11

2017.1 Respondents were to respond to the amended petition by April 25, 2017.2

12

On April 25, 2017, respondents filed a motion for an extension of time requesting an

13

additional 91 days and allowing until July 25, 2017, to file a response to Harris’s amended petition.3

14

This would be the first extension of this deadline. Respondents' counsel states that the extension of

15

time is necessary because of his obligations in other cases. Harris does not oppose the motion for

16

extension of time. I find that respondents' motion for an extension of time is made in good faith and

17

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