Undersigned counsel has been diligent, but simply has not

been able to review adequately even the relevant portions of the

trial transcripts (which number in excess of 6,000) and related

documents in order to present appropriate arguments. 

In addition, in the past thirty days undersigned counsel has

undertaken extensive review and analysis in the matter of

Latchinson v Felker, determining finally the need to return to

state court to exhaust claims. In addition, in that same matter I

have prepared and filed a state writ of habeas corpus for that

purpose. I have also received the government opposition to my

motion for an evidentiary hearing in the matter of Diaz v Adams

and I am in the process of preparing a reply. In the matter of

Jones v Edwards I have prepared and filed a reply brief in the

Ninth Circuit. I have also filed a request for stay and abeyance

in the matter of Thornton v Butler on a claim of factual

innocence. The factual basis for the claim, and the law

supporting it, are complicated affairs. Petition[er]’s motion was

granted and I have been given a short deadline within which to

prepare and file the state petition. In addition, I had oral

Accordingly, I am requesting an additional thirty days up to and

including January 21, 2007 within which to file.

On today’s date I called respondent’s counsel, Justin Riley,

advising him of my request and left a message on his machine.
