LANCE IAN OSBAND,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-97-0152 WBS KJM

vs. DEATH PENALTY CASE

ROBERT L. AYERS, JR., 

 Acting Warden of San Quentin 

 State Prison, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

The undersigned held a telephonic status conference today. Tivon Schardl and

Tim Brosnan participated for petitioner. Ward Campbell and Stephanie Mitchell participated for

respondent. After review of the recent filings of both parties, upon hearing the arguments of

counsel and good cause appearing therefor, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The court finds petitioner has good reason to investigate new information

garnered from files of the Sacramento County Bar Association’s Indigent

Defense Panel. Because that investigation may result in amendments to

petitioner’s, and respondent’s, witness and exhibits lists, there is good

cause to continue the evidentiary hearing, currently set for January 22,

2007. Petitioner’s December 29, 2006 Request to Modify Scheduling

Order is granted.
