to pursue unexhausted claims, respondent must file any opposition to such a motion within 30

days of service thereof; thereafter, petitioner has 15 days to file any reply.

6. If petitioner intends to make a motion for leave to conduct discovery under the

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, Rule 6(a), petitioner must do so by the March 15, 2008,

deadline for filing supplemental points and authorities to the original petition or an amended

petition; if respondent opposes any such motion respondent must do so within 30 days thereafter;

petitioner’s reply, if any, must be filed within 15 days of any opposition by respondent.

7. If petitioner chooses to move for an evidentiary hearing, petitioner must do so

at the earliest appropriate opportunity and, in any event, not beyond the March 15, 2008, deadline
