DWIGHT NEVEN, et al.,

ORDER

Respondents.
_____________________________/

15

In this habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Nevada prisoner Shelli Rose Dewey, filed a

16

second amended petition on September 18, 2017 (ECF No. 59). The respondents were due to

17

respond to the second amended petition by November 17, 2017. See Order entered July 20, 2017

18

(ECF No. 58) (60 days for response).

19

On November 17, 2017, respondents filed a motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 60),

20

requesting a 60-day extension of time, to January 16, 2018. This would be the first extension of this

21

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

22

obligations in other cases. Dewey does not oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court

23

finds that respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the

24

purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time requested.
