UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES D. RIEL,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN, San Quentin State Prison,

Respondent.

No. 2:01-cv-0507 MCE DB 

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

On March 17, 2020 counsel for respondent filed a request seeking to modify the 

scheduling order, vacate the deposition deadline, and continue the hearing set for March 20, 2020 

due to the COVID-19 virus. (ECF No. 594.) Good cause appearing the court will grant the 

request.

Respondent also indicated that the parties have discussed, but not come to a complete 

agreement, regarding the vacation of the April 24, 2020 deposition deadline. Because the parties 

are not in agreement the court declines to rule on modification of the deposition deadline at this 

time. The parties may file a stipulation or motion should they wish to vacate the pending 

deadline.
