DONTE WOODS,

Case No. 2:23-cv-00991-ART-NJK
ORDER

v.
RONALD OLIVER, et al.,

Respondents.

10

In this habeas corpus action the petitioner, Donte Woods, represented by

11

appointed counsel, filed an amended habeas petition on March 8, 2024. (ECF No.

12

22). Under the scheduling order in this case (ECF No. 13), the respondents then

13

had 60 days—until May 7, 2024—to file a response to the amended petition.

14

On May 7, 2024, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

15

24) requesting an extension to July 8, 2024, that being a 62-day extension. This

16

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

17

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

18

Respondents’ counsel represents that Woods does not oppose the extension of

19

time. The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in

20

good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause

21

for the extension of time they request.

22

It is therefore ordered that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time

23

(ECF No. 24) is granted. Respondents will have until and including July 8, 2024,

24

to file their response to Petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus.
