ALFRED CHRISTOPHER GONZALES,

Case No. 2:18-cv-00266-GMN-PAL

Petitioner,

11

v.

ORDER

JO GENTRY, et al.,
Respondents.

16

In this habeas corpus action, on August 20, 2018, the Court denied the

17

respondents’ motion to dismiss, without prejudice, and directed the parties to submit

18

briefing with respect to certain issues. See Order entered August 20, 2018 (ECF No. 16).

19

Respondents were to submit their brief, in response to that order, by September 19, 2018.

20

See id.

21

On September 18, 2018, the respondents filed a motion for an extension of time

22

(ECF No. 20), requesting a 30-day extension of time, to October 19, 2018, for the brief.

23

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

24

extension of time is necessary because of her obligations in other cases. The Court finds

25

that the respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for

26

the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time requested.
