Respondents.

No. 2:96-CV-1401-DAD-DMC

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, brings this petition 

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s 

unopposed second motion, ECF No. 355, for an extension of time to September 21, 2022, to file 

Petitioner’s merits brief addressing the remaining claims in this case. Good cause appearing 

therefor based on counsel’s declaration indicating the need for additional time due to a delay in

is granted. The new schedule is as follows:

is due by September 21, 2022.
