Case No. 3:09-cv-00545-LRH-WGC

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME (ECF NO. 214)

v.

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

14

In this capital habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Fernando Navarro

15

Hernandez, filed a motion for leave to amend on July 2, 2019 (ECF No. 204).

16

Respondents filed an opposition to that motion on August 15, 2019 (ECF No. 212).

17

Hernandez was due to file his reply in support of his motion on August 22, 2019. See

18

LR 7-2(b).

19

On August 22, 2019, Hernandez filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 214),

20

requesting a 7-day extension of time, to August 29, 2019, to file his reply in support of the

21

motion for leave to amend. Hernandez’s counsel states that the extension of time is

22

necessary because of time away from his office for personal reasons. This would be the

23

first extension of this deadline. Hernandez’s counsel suggests, by the title of the motion,

24

that Respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of time.

25

The Court finds that Hernandez’s motion for extension of time is made in good faith

26

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

27

time requested.
