Good cause appearing, it is hereby ordered that Respondents’ sixth motion for

enlargement of time (ECF No. 115) is granted. Respondents have until June 7, 2021, to

answer the surviving claims of the second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus.

15

Counsel for Respondents represents that she will prioritize this briefing. Counsel for

16

Respondents is nonetheless cautioned that further extensions of time will likely not be

17

granted absent compelling circumstances and a strong showing of good cause why the

18

answer could not be completed within the extended time allowed despite the exercise of

19

due diligence.

It is further ordered that Respondents’ fifth motion for enlargement of time (ECF
