FRANCISCO A. LARA,

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

12

Case No. 3:17-cv-00544-MMD-WGC

WARDEN BAKER, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14
15

In this habeas corpus action, Respondents filed a motion to dismiss on April 16,

16

2018. (ECF No. 16.) Petitioner, Francisco A. Lara, was due to respond to that motion on

17

June 15, 2018. (See ECF No. 10 at 2 (permitting sixty days to respond to motion to

18

dismiss).)

19

On June 15, 2018, Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 22),

20

requesting a sixty-day extension of time, to August 14, 2018, for his response to the

21

motion to dismiss. This would be the first extension of this deadline. Petitioner’s counsel

22

states that the extension of time is necessary because of her obligations in other cases.

23

Respondents do not oppose the extension of time. The Court finds that Petitioner’s motion

24

for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and

25

that there is good cause for the extension of time requested.

26

It is therefore ordered that Petitioner's Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 22)

27

is granted. Petitioner will have until and including August 14, 2018, to file a response to

28

///

1

the motion to dismiss. In all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings set forth

2

in the Order entered November 3, 2017 (ECF No. 10) will remain in effect.

3

DATED THIS 15th day of June 2018.
