In this habeas corpus action, after an initial 90-day period, and then extensions of

12

time of 45 days and 40 days, the respondents were due to respond to Petitioner Marco

13

Guzman’s third amended petition for writ of habeas corpus by July 13, 2021. See Order

14

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

15

2021 (ECF No. 58) (45-day extension); Order entered June 7, 2021 (ECF No. 60) (40-

16

day extension).

17

On July 13, 2021, Respondents filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 61),

18

requesting a further 14-day extension of time, to July 27, 2021. Respondents’ counsel

19

states that the extension of time is necessary because of a personal medical

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

the extension of time requested.

24

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondents’ Motion for Enlargement of

25

Time (ECF No. 61) is GRANTED. Respondents will have until and including July 27,

26

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