STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING

DEADLINE FOR PETITIONER'S CLOSING

POST-HEARING BRIEF AND PERMITTING

SUPPLEMENTAL LETTER BRIEF BY

RESPONDENTS

Petitioner, JAY STEWART MILLER, and respondents, CAL TERHUNE,

et al., by and through their respective counsel, hereby agree and

stipulate as follows:

1. Respondent's post-hearing brief was filed on April 28,

2005. Following filing of petitioner's closing post-hearing brief, the

case will be submitted for decision.

2. As noted in respondent's brief, the California Supreme

Court is currently considering two cases which present the question

whether, and to what extent, evidence of mental illness and/or

intoxication may support the subjective element of imperfect selfdefense. People v. Wright, No. S119067; People v. Gregory, No.

Miller stip/order re: final briefing 2

S110450. Although disposition of these cases will not directly govern

disposition of petitioner's ineffective assistance of counsel claim,

they may bear on the analysis. The parties agree that supplemental

briefing on the impact, if any, of Wright and Gregory will be

appropriate in any case. Both cases have been fully briefed and argued

in state court, and currently await disposition.

3. The parties therefore agree that the deadline for

petitioner's closing post-hearing brief should be extended until after

the California Supreme Court decides Wright and Gregory. Respondent

should thereafter be permitted to submit a letter brief limited to the

applicability, if any, of those decisions.

4. The following schedule is proposed: Petitioner's closing

post-hearing brief shall be filed thirty days after the California

Supreme Court files its opinion(s) in Wright and Gregory. If the state

cases are decided on different days, petitioner shall file his closing

post-hearing brief thirty days after the later-decided opinion is

filed. Respondents may file a letter brief, limited to the

applicability of Wright and Gregory, fourteen days after petitioner

files his closing post-hearing brief.
