ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, the respondents filed their answer on

15

July 14, 2021 (ECF No. 285). Then, after an initial 45-day period, an 88-day extension

16

of time, and a 60-day extension of time, the petitioner, Fernando Navarro Hernandez,

17

represented by appointed counsel, was due to file a reply by January 25, 2022. See

18

Order entered February 20, 2015 (ECF No. 94) (45 days for reply); Order entered

19

August 31, 2021 (ECF No. 289) (88-day extension); Order entered December 2, 2021

20

(ECF No. 291) (60-day extension).

21

On January 25, 2022, Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.

22

293), requesting a further 60-day extension of time, to March 26, 2022. Petitioner’s

23

counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his obligations in

24

other cases. The respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of time.

25

The Court finds that the motion for extension of time is made in good faith and

26

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

27

time.
