WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, on April 3, 2020, the petitioner, Robert

13

McConnell, represented by appointed counsel, filed a second amended petition for writ

14

of habeas corpus (ECF No. 95). After an initial 60-day period, and then a 100-day

15

extension, Respondents were due to respond to the second amended petition by

16

September 10, 2020. See Order entered December 4, 2019 (ECF No. 91) (60 days to

17

respond); Order entered June 3, 2020 (100-day extension).

18

On September 8, 2020, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

19

No. 101), requesting a further extension of 21 days, to October 1, 2020, to file their

20

response. Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because

21

of his obligations with respect to other matters. The petitioner does not oppose the

22

motion for extension of time.

23

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

24

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

25

extension of time.
