UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN LEE HOLT,

 Petitioner,

 v.

RON DAVIS, Warden Of San Quentin State

Prison,

 Respondent.

Case No. 1:97-cv-06210-DAD

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S 

UNOPPOSED THIRD MOTION FOR 

MODIFICATION OF SCHEDULING ORDER 

FOLLOWING EVIDENTIARY HEARING

Before the court is a motion by petitioner John Lee Holt, through co-counsel Assistant 

Federal Defender Jennifer Mann and appointed CJA counsel Robert Myers, to extend the current 

May 30, 2018 deadline for the filing of post-hearing briefs to June 29, 2018 and to extend the 

current June 29, 2018 deadline for the filing of rebuttal briefs to August 13, 2018. This request 

to modify the briefing schedule, petitioner’s third, is necessary due to the complexity of the 

factual record and counsel’s responsibilities in other matters. 

Petitioner’s counsel represent that counsel for respondent, Deputy Attorney General Sean 

McCoy, does not oppose the requested briefing schedule modification. 

The court finds good cause to grant petitioner’s requested extension of time and 

thereupon modify the court’s schedule in this case.
