and through his counsel, David M. Porter, Assistant Federal Defender,

hereby requests a thirty-day extension of time to file objections to

the findings and recommendations, which are currently due on May 29,

This is the second request for an extension of time, and it is not

no objection to this request, and Mr. Hubbard personally joins in the

request.

DECLARATION OF COUNSEL

I, David M. Porter, declare as follows:

1. I am employed by the Office of the Federal Defender for the

Eastern District of California and the attorney responsible for the

above-entitled matter. 

2. On April 6, 2007, this Court issued findings and

recommendations that the petition be denied, and set the deadline for

the filing of objections for twenty days from the date of the findings

and recommendations. On May 3, 2007, this Court granted an extension

of thirty days in which to file objections.

3. While the undersigned has exercised diligence in preparing

the objections, he has been unable to complete them because of his

duties in other cases, which included visiting a client in the AdMax

facility in Florence, Colorado on May 23, 2007, and the need to attend

a funeral in Chicago, Illinois on June 1, 2007. In addition to his

ongoing duties as supervisor of the habeas and appeals unit, the

undersigned has had, and continues to have, numerous filing deadlines

and court appearances in other cases, including: a parole hearing on

May 31, 2007; a reply to response to objections to findings and

recommendations in Smith, v. Curry, Civ. S 03-1871 LKK KJM, and a

status report in Rubish v. Evans, CIV F 05-00687 LJO DLB, on June 8,

2007; oral argument in two Ninth Circuit cases on June 13, 2007; and a

Ninth Circuit opening brief and a parole hearing on June 25, 2007. The

undersigned also received today an eight-page letter from Mr. Hubbard,

the content of which will require significant additional research.

4. On May 29, 2007, the undersigned contacted counsel for

respondent, Deputy Attorney General Brian G. Smiley, who graciously

indicated that he has no objection to this request. Mr. Hubbard

I declare under penalty of perjury that the matters herein as to

which I have personal knowledge are true and correct, and as to other

matters, I believe them to be true and correct.
