UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY JESSE SAN NICOLAS,

Petitioner,

v.

KEVIN CHAPPELL, as Warden of San

Quentin State Prison,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:06-cv-00942-LJO-SAB

DEATH PENALTY CASE

SCHEDULING ORDER FOLLOWING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

This matter came on for a telephonic case management conference on September 22, 

2015, at 10:00 a.m., in the above-entitled Court, the Honorable Stanley A. Boone presiding. 

Counsel Wesley Van Winkle and Harry Simon appeared for Petitioner and counsel Angelo 

Edralin appeared for Respondent. The purpose of the conference was to discuss further 

scheduling with all counsel and to discuss the CJA budget ex parte with counsel for Petitioner. 

Following review of the parties’ August 21, 2015 joint statement regarding scheduling

(ECF No. 152), and discussions with counsel, the Court found the schedule proposed by the 

parties in their joint statement to be reasonable, provided that any request for continuance will be 

viewed with extreme disfavor, and further provided that the Court will address the merits prior to 

procedural defenses and retroactivity under Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288 (1989).
