By this Court’s previous order petitioner’s amended pleading

or supplemental points and authorities are due to be filed by

October 17, 2008. Counsel is only too aware that this Court has

also admonished that now further time will be granted.

Undersigned did not believe additional time would be required and

has work diligently toward that end. Unfortunately, for the

reasons stated below, an additional fourteen days, up to and

including October 1, 2008, is required to complete the amended

pleadings. 

In the past forty-five days undersigned has completed the

opening brief in the matter of Martin v. Hubbard, a complex

appeal from the denial of a writ of habeas corpus. (Although

completed, and ready for filing, an extension of time was sought

and obtained at the request of amicus counsel in order to provide

them additional time to file their brief.) In addition,

undersigned has filed a reply brief in Drayton v Castro an appeal

from another denial of habeas corpus. In that matter undersigned

was not counsel of record in district court. Appellee’s brief was

nearly 60 pages long and raised a number of extremely complex

legal issues that required response. Undersigned has also

filed amended petitions for habeas corpus in the matters of

Thornton v Butler and Latchison v Felker (Proposed). In Dixon v

Evans and Thornton v Butler respondent has filed answers and

those have been reviewed. In addition, in the matter of the

United States v Peterson, a complicated, multi-defendant bank

robbery, trial was, until today, scheduled to begin on October 6,

2008. Undersigned has been diligently preparing for trial,

dealing with volumes of new discovery as well as DNA results just

recently provided. That matter resolved today. Finally, in the

matter of United States v Killinger, following the denial of a

request for release on conditions after a protracted bail review

hearing, undersigned prepared and filed a legally complex and

factually detailed Rule 9 Brief in the Ninth Circuit. 

For all of the above stated reasons, an additional fourteen

day extension of time is requested in this matter. 

Petitioner remains in the custody of the California

Department of Corrections serving his sentence.

On September 17, 2008 undersigned counsel spoke to

respondent’s counsel who graciously agreed to my request.
