DECLARATION OF COUNSEL

I, David M. Porter, declare as follows:

1. I am employed by the Office of the Federal Defender for the

Eastern District of California and the attorney responsible for the

above-entitled matter. 

2. On March 21, 2006, this Court set the deadline for the filing

of the amended traverse for thirty days from the date of the order.

3. The undersigned has exercised diligence in investigating this

case and attempting to meet the deadline. Nevertheless, because of his

duties in other cases, the recent receipt of further discovery from the

Sheriff’s Department, and the need to communicate with petitioner, who

has taken an active role in litigating this case, the undersigned seeks

an extension for filing the amended traverse. In light of the

difficulties and delays inherent in communicating with an incarcerated

individual, and the undersigned’s duties in other cases, which include

filing an opening appellate brief, a reply brief, and an objection to a

motion to dismiss traverse, and an appellate argument, the undersigned

is requesting 30 days. 

4. On April 19, 2006, the undersigned contacted counsel for

respondent, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jo Graves, who graciously

indicated that she has no objection to this request. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the matters herein as to

which I have personal knowledge are true and correct, and as to other

matters, I believe them to be true and correct.

DATED: April 19, 2006
