In this habeas corpus action, the respondents filed a motion to dismiss on May 7,

12

2024 (ECF No. 66). The petitioner, Janet Hiller, represented by appointed counsel, was

13

due to respond to the motion to dismiss by August 22, 2024. See ECF Nos. 50, 70. On

14

August 22, 2024, Hiller filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 72) requesting a

15

60-day extension, to October 21, 2024. Hiller’s counsel states that the extension is

16

necessary because she is relatively new to this case and because of its complexity. The

17

Court finds that the motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for

18

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

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Extension of Time

20

(ECF No. 72) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have until and including October 21, 2024, to

21

respond to the motion to dismiss. In all other respects, the schedule for further

22

proceedings set forth in the order entered December 22, 2023 (ECF No. 50) remains in

23

effect.

DATED: August 27, 2024.
