On October 16, 2008, Respondent filed the instant motion requesting an extension of time to file an answer to the petition. (Doc. 12).

The Court has read and considered Respondent's motion, finds that good cause exists to grant it, and makes the following orders:

1. Respondent's motion for an extension of time to file an answer (Doc. 12), is GRANTED; and

2. Respondent shall have to and including November 17, 2008 to file an answer to the petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
