DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

Before the Court is Petitioner’s unopposed motion for a 30-day continuance to file his

reply brief. The motion is based primarily on counsel’s workload. The Court will permit the

instant request but cautions both parties that no further continuances will be authorized

absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances and that workload does not constitute an

extraordinary circumstance. The Court expects the parties to adhere to the remaining

deadlines and is not inclined to permit any further modification of the briefing schedule.

Based on the foregoing,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for 30-Day Extension of Time

to File Reply (Doc. 31) is granted. The briefing schedule is modified as follows: 

1. Petitioner shall file a Reply no later than May 22, 2013.

 2. Any motion for evidentiary development shall be filed no later than June 12,

2013.
