In this habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Brandon Kale Harris, was due to file an amended
habeas petition by October 12, 2016. See Order entered July 13, 2016 (ECF No. 7).

18

On October 11, 2016, Harris filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 8), requesting a

19

75-day extension, to December 26, 2016, for his amended petition. Harris’s counsel states that the

20

extension of time is necessary to investigate this case, meet with the petitioner, and draft an amended

21

petition. Respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court finds that Harris’s

22

motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that

23

there is good cause for the extension of time Harris requests.
