ORDER
MIRANDA M. DU, Chief District Judge.
On December 6, 2019, the Court issued an order informing Petitioner Travers A. Greene, represented by appointed counsel, that he had until February 4, 2020, to file a second amended habeas petition. (ECF No. 113.)
On February 4, 2020, Greene filed a motion for extension of time. (ECF No. 114). Greene requests a 62-day extension of time, until April 6, 2020, to file his second amended petition. Greene's counsel states that the extension of time is necessary because of her responsibilities in other cases, and the amount of work she believes it will take to complete the petition. This would be the first extension of this deadline. Respondents do not oppose the motion for extension of time.
The Court finds that Greene's 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 requested.
It is therefore ordered that Petitioner's motion for extension of time (ECF No. 114) is granted. Petitioner will have until and including April 6, 2020, to file his second amended habeas petition.
It is further ordered that, in all other respects, the schedule for further proceedings set forth in the order entered December 6, 2019, (ECF No. 113) will remain in effect.
