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

 /

The undersigned has reviewed the parties’ letter briefs submitted after this

afternoon’s telephonic conference. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45, subsections (c)(2)(B) and

(c)(3), authorize the court to shorten the time within which compliance, objections, or a motion

to quash may be made in response to a subpoena. Given the imminence of the evidentiary

hearing in this matter and the potential relevance of the information which is the subject of the

subpoena granted in the court’s order issued earlier today, the undersigned finds good cause to

shorten the fourteen-day response period set out in Rule 45(c)(2)(B). Petitioner shall direct

compliance with the subpoena by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 11, 2007. Petitioner shall

effect personal service of the subpoena by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, January 8, 2007.1

notice of the subpoena.
