PROPOSED ORDER 

Petitioner intends to take an appeal from the Court’s order of August 21, 2008. 98-2444

Doc. 182; 00-3706 Doc. 115. In light of the Court’s expressed intention to deal with the issue of Mr.

19, 2008, at p. 8; 98-2444 Doc. 176; 00-3706 Doc. 109):

The parties hereby stipulate that litigation of all claims and issues in this case other than

the issue of Mr. Carpenter’s current competency shall be deferred pending resolution of that appeal.

This stipulation is without prejudice to Petitioner’s motion, being filed this day, to stay

the evaluation of Mr. Carpenter’s current competency pending the appeal, and to Respondent’s opposition to that motion.
