DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER SETTING EXPEDITED

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Petitioner, an Arizona capital prisoner, is scheduled to be executed on May 16, 2012.

On April 9, 2012, Petitioner filed a motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

P. 60(b). (Doc. 237.) In light of the impending execution date,

IT IS ORDERED that Respondents shall file a response to Petitioner’s motion no

later than Monday, April 16, 2012. Because this Court has already returned the state court

record to the Arizona Supreme Court (see Doc. 234), Respondents shall append to their

response copies of any documents or transcripts from the state court record relevant to

consideration of Petitioner’s motion. The Court does not require a reply brief.

DATED this 10th day of April, 2012.
