On June 12, 2008, Respondent in the above matter requested a ten-day

June 23, 2008. At the time the answer is filed, Respondent shall lodge

with the Court all records bearing on the merits of Petitioner’s claims.

The lodgments shall be accompanied by a notice of lodgment which shall

- To be Sent to Clerk’s Office.” Respondent shall not combine separate

pleadings, orders or other items into a combined lodgment entry. Each

item shall be numbered separately and sequentially.

2. Petitioner may file a traverse to matters raised in the answer

no later than July 21, 2008. Any traverse by Petitioner shall (a) state

whether Petitioner admits or denies each allegation of fact contained in

the answer; (b) be limited to facts or arguments responsive to matters

raised in the answer; and (c) shall not raise new grounds for relief

that were not asserted in the petition. Grounds for relief withheld

until the traverse will not be considered. No traverse shall exceed ten

(10) pages in length absent advance leave of Court for good cause shown.

3. A request by a party for an extension of time within which to

file any of the pleadings required by this Order should be made in

advance of the due date of the pleading, and the Court will grant such

a request only upon a showing of good cause. Any such request shall be

accompanied by a declaration under penalty of perjury explaining why an

extension of time is necessary.

4. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, this case shall be

deemed submitted on the day following the date Petitioner’s opposition

to a motion to dismiss and/or his traverse is due.

5. Every document delivered to the Court must include a

certificate of service attesting that a copy of such document was served

on opposing counsel (or on the opposing party, if such party is not

represented by counsel). Any document delivered to the Court without a

certificate of service will be returned to the submitting party and

disregarded by the Court.
