STIPULATION AND ORDER

Petitioner Neal John Tibbs, by and through counsel Krista Hart

and respondent, D. Adams, by and through counsel Deputy Attorney

General David Eldridge, hereby stipulate and agree that the status

conference currently set for October 17, 2007, be vacated and reset

for October 24, 2007.

Petitioner is a state prisoner with an application for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On January 29, 2007,

this Court appointed the Office of the Federal Defender to represent

petitioner. On February 15, 2007, this Court granted the Federal

Defender’s request to substitute the undersigned as counsel of record

for petitioner.

This is the fourth request for additional time to prepare for

the status conference. The matter is currently set for a status

conference on August 22, 2007, with a status report due today, August

8, 2007. The undersigned, along with opposing counsel David

Eldridge, request that the hearing date set for October 17, be

vacated and reset for October 24, 2007. The parties further request

that a status report be due on October 3, 2007.

The undersigned was appointed on February 15, 2007. At this

time it does not appear that discovery is an issue. However, there

is a need for further investigation. Counsel for petitioner met with

petitioner at Corcoran State Prison and obtained additional records

from petitioner. Petitioner’s counsel also met with petitioner’s

sister and obtained additional material from her. Petitioner is

conducting further investigation.

At this point, petitioner believes that an evidentiary hearing

will be necessary to settle factual issues, respondent disagrees. 

Respondent does not object to the additional week, but is of the

present opinion that this should be the final extension.

For the above mentioned reasons, it appears that additional time

is necessary to assess the case and to prepare for the status

conference.
