JEREMY TURNER,

Case No. 3:17-cv-00139-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,

10

ORDER

v.

RENEE BAKER, et al.,
Respondents.

14
15

In this habeas corpus action, on August 20, 2018, the Court ruled on the

16

Respondents’ motion to dismiss, dismissed certain of the Petitioner’s claims, and ordered

17

the Respondents to file an answer, responding to the Petitioner’s remaining claims, within

18

90 days. (See Order entered August 20, 2018 (ECF No. 34).)

19

On November 16, 2018, Respondents filed a motion for an extension of time (ECF

20

No. 35), requesting a 45-day extension of time, to January 3, 2019, for the answer. This

21

would be the first extension of this deadline. Respondents’ counsel states that the

22

extension of time is necessary because of her obligations in other cases. The Court finds

23

that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for

24

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

25
26

It is therefore ordered that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF No.
35) is granted. Respondents will have until January 3, 2019, to file their answer.

27

It is further ordered that, in all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings

28

set forth in the order entered April 4, 2017 (ECF No. #5), will remain in effect; under that

1

order, the Petitioner will have 60 days, after the Respondents’ file their answer, to file a

2

reply to the answer.

3

DATED THIS 20th day of November 2018.
