Case No. 3:09-cv-00545-LRH-CSD
ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF NO. 318)

12
13

In this capital habeas corpus action, the Court has ordered the parties to file

14

supplemental briefing—an amended answer by Respondents, followed by an amended

15

reply by Petitioner Fernando Navarro Hernandez, followed by a response to the amended

16

reply by Respondents—in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Shinn v. Ramirez,

17

142 S. Ct. 1718 (2022). See Order entered June 28, 2022 (ECF No. 307). Respondents

18

filed their amended answer on March 17, 2023 (ECF No. 317). Hernandez, who is

19

represented by appointed counsel, was then due to file his amended reply by May 1,

20

2023. See Order entered June 28, 2022 (ECF No. 307).

21

On May 1, 2023, Hernandez filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 318),

22

requesting a 91-day extension of time, to July 31, 2023, for his amended reply.

23

Hernandez’s counsel states that this extension of time is necessary because of her

24

obligations in other cases. Hernandez’s counsel states that Respondents do not oppose

25

the motion for extension of time.

26

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

27

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

28

requested.
