TERRY D. DIXON,
v.

Order Granting Extension of Time to
File Answer to Petition to
April 7, 2023

Petitioner,

RENEE BAKER, et al.,

(ECF No. 116)

Respondents.

Case No. 3:13-cv-00248-RCJ-CSD

Respondents ask the court for an extension of time to answer the remaining

15

claims in Terry D. Dixon’s § 2254 habeas corpus petition. (ECF No. 116.) Counsel for

16

respondents explains that several of the most senior and experienced members of the

17

division have left, leaving her a heavy and complex caseload and that she has been

18

managing an acute health condition since November 2022. Counsel for petitioner has

19

indicated that she does not oppose the extension. Good cause appearing, the motion is

20

granted. The court notes that, absent extraordinary circumstances, it is highly unlikely to

21

grant any further extension.

22

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that respondents’ third motion for extension of

23

time to answer the petition (ECF No. 116) is GRANTED. The deadline to answer is

24

extended to April 7, 2023.

25

DATED: 23 February 2023.
