IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JERRY GRANT FRYE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-99-0628 LKK KJM

vs. DEATH PENALTY CASE

STEVEN W. ORNOSKI,

Acting Warden of San Quentin

State Prison,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

To resolve petitioner’s Motion for Evidentiary Hearing, the undersigned requires

supplemental briefing. As provided by the habeas statute, this court “shall not hold an

evidentiary hearing,” except in specific circumstances, where petitioner “has failed to develop the

factual basis of a claim in State court proceedings.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(2). Petitioner states

generally in his opening brief that he did not fail to develop the factual bases of the claims at

issue in his motion for an evidentiary hearing. In his opposition brief, respondent addresses the

“failure to develop” issue with respect to only one or two claims. 

Because this court must determine whether or not petitioner has “failed to develop

the factual basis” of each claim in state court, the parties shall submit the following supplemental

briefing:
