DECLARATION OF COUNSEL

I, David M. Porter, declare as follows:

1. I am employed by the Office of the Federal Defender for the

Eastern District of California and the attorney responsible for the

above-entitled matter. 

2. On February 20, 2008, this Court issued an order setting the

deadline for the filing of post-hearing briefing, the reply brief of

which is due April 10, 2008.

3. While the undersigned has exercised diligence in meeting the

deadline, he has been unable to do so because of significant

responsibilities he incurred when he was assigned to assist inmates in

the Eastern District of California apply for reductions in sentence

pursuant to the retroactively applicable crack cocaine amendment of the

United States Sentencing Commission. In addition to these

responsibilities, the undersigned has oral argument on April 14, 2008

in Lugo v. Terhune, Ninth Cir. Docket No. 07-16031.

4. On April 10, 2008, respondent's counsel, Deputy Attorney

General R. Todd Marshall, graciously indicated that he had no objection

to the requested extension.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the matters herein as to

which I have personal knowledge are true and correct, and as to other

matters, I believe them to be true and correct.

DATED: April 10, 2008
