MATHEW LEE WILLIAMS,

Case No. 3:16-cv-00505-MMD-VPC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

13

BRIAN E. WILLIAMS SR., et al.,
Respondents.

14

16

In this habeas corpus action, the petitioner, Mathew Lee Williams, has filed an

17

amended petition for writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 34). Respondents were due to

18

respond to the amended petition by September 28, 2017. See Order entered June 30,

19

2017 (ECF No. 38).

20

On September 28, 2017, respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF

21

No. 47), requesting a 46-day extension of time, to November 13, 2017, for their response

22

to Williams’ amended petition. Respondents’ counsel states that she needs the extension

23

of time because of her obligations in other cases.

24

The Court finds that respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good

25

faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and there is good cause for the requested

26

extension of time.

27

It is therefore ordered that respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF No.

28

47) is granted. Respondents will have until and including November 13, 2017, to respond

1

to the petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus. In all other respects, the

2

schedule set forth in the order entered June 30, 2017 (ECF No. 38) remains in effect.

DATED THIS 28th day of September 2017.
