IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES D. RIEL, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-0507 LKK KJM

vs. DEATH PENALTY CASE

ROBERT L. AYERS, Jr.,

 Warden of San Quentin

 State Prison, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On January 20, 2010 the undersigned held a scheduling conference. Robert

Bacon, Tivon Schardl and Joan Fisher appeared telephonically for petitioner. Paul Bernardino

and Heather Gimle appeared telephonically for respondent. After considering the parties’ briefs

regarding petitioner’s December 23, 2009 Motion for Extensions of Time, the January 11, 2010

Joint Statement, the status of petitioner’s August 12, 2009 Motion for Reconsideration of this

court’s ruling on respondent’s Motion to Depose Petitioner, the court’s fairly recent approval of

funding for one of petitioner’s experts, and the argument of counsel during the conference, the

court finds good cause to continue the dates set out in the August 7, 2009 scheduling order.
