Case No. 3:10-cv-00021-GMN-CSD
ORDER GRANTING
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF NO. 158)
10
11
12
In this capital habeas corpus action, after an initial period of 180 days following
13
the resolution of their motion to dismiss on July 24, 2022 (ECF No. 151), and then a
14
45-day extension of time, a 35-day extension of time, and another 35-day extension of
15
time, the respondents were to file their answer by May 18, 2023. See Order entered
16
July 24, 2022 (ECF No. 151) (180 days for answer); Order entered January 23, 2023
17
(ECF No. 153) (45-day extension); Order entered March 9, 2023 (ECF No. 155) (35-day
18
extension); Order entered April 14, 2023 (ECF No. 157) (35-day extension).
19
On May 18, 2023, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No.
20
158), requesting a further 28-day extension of time, to June 15, 2023, for their answer.
21
Respondents’ counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of his
22
obligations in other cases. Respondents’ counsel represents that Petitioner Robert
23
McConnell, who is represented by appointed counsel, does not oppose the motion for
24
extension of time.
25
The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good
26
faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the
27
requested extension of time.
