In this habeas corpus action, after an initial 90-day period, and then extensions of

13

time of 78, 60, 31 and 30 days, the Respondents were due to file an answer by April 28,

14

2021. See Order entered July 13, 2020 (ECF No. 40) (90 days for answer); Order entered

15

October 12, 2020 (ECF No. 42) (78-day extension); Order entered January 3, 2021 (ECF

16

No. 44) (60-day extension); Order entered March 1, 2021 (31-day extension); Order

17

entered April 7, 2021 (30-day extension). On April 27, 2021, Respondents filed a motion

18

for extension of time (ECF No. 49), requesting a further 30-day extension, to May 28,

19

2021. Respondents’ counsel states that this extension of time is necessary because of

20

the complexity of this case. Petitioner does not oppose the motion for extension of time.

21

The Court finds that Respondents’ request for an extension of time is made in good faith

22

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

23

requested.
