ORDER

DEATH PENALTY CASE

Courtroom: Magistrate Judge

Gregory G. Hollows

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Respondent will file an abbreviated answer to Petitioner’s Amended Petition for Writ

of Habeas Corpus by September 1, 2005. The abbreviated answer will consist of a general denial

that Petitioner is entitled to relief and will not address the particular merits of the claims. It will

simply set forth the affirmative defenses (e.g., procedural default, lack of exhaustion and statute of

limitations) that may apply to any claim for the purpose of asserting and preserving those defenses.

Petitioner will not be required to file a traverse.

2. Respondent will also file by September 1, 2005, a motion for summary judgment on

claims that have been addressed in the direct appeal in state court. The motion may also be made

with respect to any other claim in which the parties agree that there is no dispute of material fact.

Respondent will provide a list of such additional claims to Petitioner for consideration on or before

July 15, 2005. Petitioner will then identify those claims he feels cannot be resolved by summary

judgment and notify respondent of such claims by July 29, 2005.

3. Petitioner will have until November 1, 2005, in which to file opposition to

Respondent’s motion for summary judgment.

4. Respondent will have until December 1, 2005, to file a reply to the opposition to

summary judgment. 

5. The hearing on Respondent’s motion for summary judgment will be held on January

19, 2006.

6. The parties will meet and confer between September 2, 2005 and October 1, 2005 to

attempt to enter a further stipulation regarding how to proceed with the remaining claims. 

DATED: 6/7/05
