Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
RENEE BAKER, et al.,
Respondents.

10

Good cause appearing, Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of Time (ECF

11

No. 61) is granted. Respondents have until September 3, 2020, to file an answer to the

12

surviving claims of the petition in this case.

13

Given the age of this case,1 counsel for both parties are directed to prioritize the

14

deadlines in this case over later-filed matters. Further extensions of time are not likely to

15

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

16

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

17

due diligence.

DATED THIS 21st day of July 2020.
