WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Robert McConnell,

14

represented by appointed counsel, was due to file a second amended habeas petition

15

by February 3, 2020. See Order entered December 3, 2019 (ECF No. 91).

16

On February 3, 2020, McConnell filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

17

No. 92), requesting a 60-day extension of time, to April 3, 2020, to file his second

18

amended petition. McConnell’s counsel states that the extension of time is necessary

19

because of the work involved in preparing the second amended petition following the

20

extensive state-court proceedings that occurred during the stay of this action, and

21

because of his obligations in other cases. This would be the first extension of this

22

deadline.

23

The Court finds that McConnell’s 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 the

25

extension of time requested.

26

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for extension of time

27

(ECF No. 92) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have until and including April 3, 2020, to file

28

his second amended habeas petition.
