UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BOB RUSSELL WILLIAMS,

Petitioner,

v.

RON DAVIS, Warden of California State 

Prison at San Quentin,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:09-cv-01068-DAD

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S 

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR FIFTH

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

OPPOSITION BRIEF

(Doc. No. 111) 

ORDER FURTHER MODIFYING 

SCHEDULING ORDER

(Doc. No. 69)

Before the court is a motion by respondent warden Ron Davis, through his counsel 

California Deputy Attorney General Craig Meyers, to extend the deadline for filing his 

opposition brief on the application of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) to all claims in the amended petition 

from February 16, 2020 to April 16, 2020. This extension of time, respondent’s fifth, is 

necessary due to the voluminous pleadings and record, the number and complexity of issues 

raised, and Deputy Attorney General Meyers’ responsibilities in other matters and medical 

issues. 

Deputy Attorney General Meyers represents that counsel for petitioner, Assistant Federal 

Defender Harry Simon, does not oppose the requested extension.
