Case No. 1:95-cv-05309-AWI

DEATH PENALTY CASE

SECOND ORDER MODIFYING PHASE IV

CASE MANAGEMENT

This matter is before the Court on the February 4, 2008 request filed by Petitioner Rodney

Berryman, Sr. (“Berryman”) for a second order modifying Court’s November 7, 2007 Order Re: Phase

IV Case Management. Berryman’s application reports that Respondent Robert L. Ayers, Jr., as Warden

of San Quentin State Prison (the “Warden”) agrees with the terms of the second proposed modification.

Previously, on December 17, 2007, the Court authorized a 30 day extension for the parties to complete

investigative interviews from January 7, 2008 to February 7, 2008 and a 30 day extension for the parties

to file a joint status report from February 7, 2008 to March 7, 2008 advising the Court of the results of

the interview efforts. Berryman now requests an extension from February 7, 2008 to March 8, 2008 for

the parties to complete investigative interviews, and an extension From March 7, 2008 to April 6, 2008

for the filing of the joint status report.

Berryman reports that the investigation process has been productive, but that a few extra weeks

will be necessary to make contact with the remaining potential witnesses and obtain their statements.

The Court is satisfied with the explanation, the parties’ continued diligence, and the agreement of

counsel for the Warden. Because April 6, 2008 falls on a Sunday, the joint status report will be due

Monday, April 7, 2008.

For good cause shown, the Phase IV Case Management Order is modified to extend investigative

interviews to March 8, 2008 and the filing of the parties’ joint status report concerning those interviews

to April 7, 2008.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
