Case No. 2:20-cv-00503-KJD-NJK
ORDER

In this habeas corpus action, after a 90-day initial period and a 56-day

12

extension, the respondents were due to file a response to Petitioner Tony Hobson’s

13

fourth amended habeas petition by March 3, 2025. See ECF Nos. 57, 61. On

14

March 3, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 62), requesting a

15

further 14-day extension, to March 17, 2025. Respondents’ counsel states that the

16

extension of time is necessary because of their obligations in other cases.

17

Respondents’ counsel represents that Hobson, who is represented by appointed

18

counsel, does not oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court finds that the

19

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

20

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