MARIO CAMACHO, Petitioner, v. WILLIAM GITTERE, et al., Respondents.
ORDER
ROBERT C. JONES, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In this habeas corpus action, after a 120-day initial period, a 91-day extension, a 60-day extension, another 60-day extension, and a 30-day extension, the petitioner, Mario Camacho, represented by appointed counsel, was due to file a second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus by January 6, 2022. See Order entered January 8, 2021 (ECF No. 22) (120 days to file second amended petition); Order entered May 4, 2021 (ECF No. 26) (91-day extension); Order entered September 7, 2021 (ECF No. 28) (60-day extension); Order entered November 10, 2021 (ECF No. 30) (60-day extension); Order entered December 21, 2021 (ECF No. 32) (30-day extension).
On January 6, 2022, Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time (ECF No. 33), requesting a further 60-day extension of time, to March 7, 2022, to file his second amended petition. Petitioner's counsel states that the extension of time is necessary to further communicate with Petitioner and obtain a declaration from him. Respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of time. The Court finds that the motion for extension of time is made in good faith and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of time.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for Extension of Time (ECF No. 33) is GRANTED. Petitioner will have until and including March 7, 2022, to file his second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, in all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings set forth in the order entered January 8, 2021 (ECF No. 22) will remain in effect.
