DEATH PENALTY CASE

 ORDER

 

Pending before the Court is Respondents’ Motion to Accept Late Filing. (Dkt. 130.)

On September 19, 2007, the Court granted Respondents’ third motion for an extension of

time until October 12, 2007 to file their Merits Response. (See Dkt. 126.) On October 17,

2007, the Response was lodged with the Court. (Dkt. 129.) Petitioner moved the Court to

accept the late filing of the Response, raising as justification the same grounds cited in the

last motion for extension of time, namely, that counsel for Respondents has had an illness in

the family requiring him to take time off from his duties. In light of the fact that the

Response has been lodged with the Court, and in light of the fact that Petitioner has no

objection to acceptance of the late filing, the motion will be granted.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED granting Respondents Motion to Accept Late Filing.

(Dkt. 130).
