DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

 

Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s September 29, 2005 Motion for Extension of

Time, which requests additional time to file a motion for reconsideration and for the hearing

of oral argument regarding evidentiary development of Claims A(5) (in part) and B.

Respondents do not oppose the requested time extensions, and the parties agree they are

available for oral argument on December 5, 2005.

Petitioner requests additional time for the filing of the motion for reconsideration

based on counsel’s schedules and the “substantial and critical” nature of the motion. The

Court will grant the time extension in light of counsel’s schedules; however, counsel are

reminded of the limited nature of motions for reconsideration. See School Dist. No. 1J,

Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993) (absent “highly

unusual” circumstances, motion for reconsideration is only appropriate if there is newly

discovered evidence, clear error, or an intervening change in the law). The Court does not

intend to grant any extensions of the seventeen-page limit for motions as set forth in Local
