IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LANCE IAN OSBAND,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-97-0152 WBS KJM

vs. DEATH PENALTY CASE

ROBERT L. AYERS, JR., 

 Acting Warden of San Quentin 

 State Prison, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On April 5, 2007, the undersigned held a status conference. Tivon Schardl

appeared for petitioner. Tim Brosnan participated telephonically for petitioner. Ward Campbell

and Stephanie Mitchell appeared for respondent. The court issued orders from the bench on the

subjects raised in both parties’ second motions in limine. The court discussed with counsel

respondent’s introduction of photos, which was raised originally in the petitioner’s first motion in

limine, and rulings on this issue were deferred. In addition, the court raised the issue of the

August 10, 2000 protective order’s applicability to testimony or evidence introduced at the

evidentiary hearing. It should be clear that the court will not issue a blanket order sealing the

entire testimony of any party. The closing of the hearing, and the sealing of transcripts of any

testimony, shall be as limited as possible. To that end, and to minimize the opening and closing

of the hearing, the parties shall make every attempt to cluster all questions covering the subject

matter of the protective order.

Respondent’s counsel also raised the issue of possible conflict between the

protective order and the rights of victims to be present during this proceeding. By April 12,

2007, respondent shall file a concise brief addressing this issue. By April 18, 2007, petitioner

shall file any response. If necessary, the parties may argue the issue before the evidentiary

hearing begins on April 23, 2007.

DATED: April 5, 2007.
