In this habeas corpus action, after an initial 90-day period, and then a 45-day

12

extension of time, the respondents were due to respond to Petitioner Marco Guzman’s

13

third amended petition for writ of habeas corpus by June 3, 2021. See Order entered

14

January 19, 2021 (ECF No. 54) (90 days for response); Order entered April 22, 2021

15

(ECF No. 58) (45-day extension).

16

On June 3, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 59),

17

requesting a further 40-day extension of time, to July 13, 2021. Respondents’ counsel

18

states that the extension of time is necessary because of her obligations in another

19

case. Petitioner, represented by appointed counsel, does not oppose the motion for

20

extension of time. The Court finds that Respondents’ motion for extension of time is

21

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

22

the extension of time requested.

23

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of

24

Time (ECF No. 59) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including July 13,

25

2021, to respond to the third amended petition for writ of habeas corpus.
