Case No. 3:17-cv-00508-MMD-VPC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
ISIDRO BACA, et al.,
Respondents.

13
14

Pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas Petitioner William Workman has filed a motion

15

for default (ECF No. 16). He points out that Respondents did not file a response to his

16

petition within the original ninety-day deadline. However, Respondents have timely

17

moved for an extension of time, based in part on a delay in obtaining the state court

18

records and the large volume of state court records (ECF No. 15). Good cause

19

appearing,

20

It is therefore ordered that Respondents’ motion for extension of time to respond

21

to the petition (ECF No. 15) is granted. Respondents must file their response on or

22

before September 3, 2018.

23

It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion for default (ECF No. 16) is denied.

24

DATED THIS 18th day of July 2018.
