Ex Parte Motion To Enlarge Time to Respond To Motion and Proposed Order

2

2. I was retained today by Petitioner’s father to represent Petitioner in this matter. 

3. I need some time in which to obtain the relevant documentation from my client, from prior 

state defense counsel, and possibly from state court to investigate and prepare a response to 

Respondent’s motion.

4. I telephoned and spoke with Respondent’s counsel, Deputy Attorney General Gregory Ott, 

about this requested extension of time today after I was retained. Mr. Ott stated that he has

no objection to an extension of time of 60 days for me to investigate and file any response to 

his motion to dismiss.

5. I am therefore requesting that the court grant petitioner until July 31, 2016 in which to 

respond to Respondent’s motion to dismiss.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true 

and correct. Executed this 3d day of June, 2016, at Oakland, California.
