MARCO GUZMAN,

CALVIN JOHNSON, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 3:17-cv-00515-HDM-CLB
ORDER

9
10

In this habeas corpus action, after a 60-day period following the filing of

11

Respondents’ answer, Petitioner Marco Guzman, who is represented by appointed

12

counsel, was due to file a reply to the answer by January 31, 2023. See Order entered

13

January 19, 2021 (ECF No. 54) (scheduling order).

14

On January 31, 2023, Guzman filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 86),

15

requesting a 62-day extension of time, to April 3, 2023, for his reply. Guzman’s counsel

16

states that the extension of time is necessary because this case is relatively complex,

17

because he was only recently reassigned this case, and because of his obligations in

18

other cases. Guzman’s counsel states that Respondents do not oppose the motion for

19

extension of time.

20

The Court finds that the motion for extension of time is made in good faith and

21

not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the requested

22

extension of time.
