UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID A. BREAUX,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN, San Quentin State Prison,

Respondent.

No. 2:93-cv-0570 JAM DAD P

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner incarcerated under sentence of death. He is proceeding 

through counsel with an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Under the current scheduling order, the parties had until June 16, 2014, in which to 

complete all independent investigation in this case and to submit statements to the court 

identifying which claims will require live testimony in an evidentiary hearing, which claims will

be submitted solely on an expanded record or through deposition or affidavit, and which claims 

will require no consideration of evidence at all. (Doc. Nos. 257, 263.) The scheduling order 

further requires the parties to submit no later than July 16, 2014, a joint proposed schedule and

status report that “shall include (1) a proposed schedule for any depositions; (2) a proposed 

deadline for the filing of any pre-evidentiary hearing motions that either party deems appropriate; 

and (3) proposed dates for the evidentiary hearing.” (Doc. No. 257 at 2.)

On June 16, 2014, the parties jointly submitted a stipulation informing the court that they 

“need until October 15, 2014, to complete all independent investigation” and to submit statements

regarding their proposed division of claims. (Doc. 269 at 2.) The parties’ stipulation does not 

formally ask for an extension of time to complete those tasks, but it does request that the due date 

for the joint proposed schedule and status report, currently set at July 15, be extended to 

November 17, 2014. The court therefore construes the parties’ stipulation as a joint motion to 

amend the scheduling order. Good cause appearing, the requested extensions of time will be 

granted.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the scheduling order is amended as 

follows:

1. The parties have until October 15, 2014, in which to complete all independent 

investigation in this case and shall by that same date submit statement(s) to the court identifying 

(1) which claims will require live testimony in an evidentiary hearing; (2) which claims will be 

submitted solely on an expanded record or through deposition or affidavit; and (3) which claims 

will require no consideration of evidence at all. The parties may submit said statement(s) jointly 

or separately.

2. The parties shall submit no later than November 17, 2014, a joint proposed schedule 

and status report that shall include (1) a proposed schedule for any depositions; (2) a proposed 

deadline for the filing of any pre-evidentiary hearing motions that either party deems appropriate; 

and (3) proposed dates for the evidentiary hearing. 

Dated: June 17, 2014
