Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0404 GEB EFB P

vs.

M. KNOWLES, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28

U.S.C. § 2254. Respondents have requested a third 30-day extension of time to file and serve a

response to the petition. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). Without such additional time, the response

must be filed no later than November 29, 2007. Respondents’ counsel states that he has

requested the state court records necessary to respond to the petition and asserts that he has acted

with diligence. But he does not state whether he has received these records. Respondents’

counsel merely asserts that he is busy because he is a supervisor and other cases in various courts

demand his attention. 

Good cause appearing, it is ORDERED that respondents’ November 26, 2007, request is

granted in part. Respondents shall file and serve a response to the petition no later than
