Order Extending Time

Jo Gentry, et al.,

[ECF No. 10]

Respondents

10

This is the second time that respondents have asked for more time to respond to pro se

11

petitioner Marc Schachter’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Respondents first asked for a

12

45-day extension, giving them until January 18, 2018, to respond, which was granted.1 Now they

13

ask for 35 more days, further extending the deadline to February 22, 2018.2 Counsel for the

14

respondents represents that he has “remained extremely busy working on the numerous complex

15

capital matters identified” in his first time-extension motion, and that he had been “assigned to

16

assist [his] colleague . . . with an evidentiary hearing . . . [that] occurred on January 16–17, 2018.

17

I find that this motion is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay.

18

Accordingly, good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondents’ second

19

motion for an enlargement of time [ECF No. 10] is GRANTED. The respondents now have

20

until February 22, 2018, to respond to Schachter’s petition. Counsel is cautioned that his

21

workload will likely not warrant a third continuance.

22

DATED: January 22, 2018.
