UNOPPOSED REQUEST TO EXTEND TIME

TO FILE TRAVERSE; ORDER

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-142, Petitioner, STEVEN RODRIGUEZ, by and

through his counsel, Assistant Federal Defender David M. Porter, 

hereby requests an extension of 30 days in which to file a traverse,

which is currently due on April 7, 2007. 

This is the second request for extension, an earlier unopposed

extension of 45 days having been sought and granted. While the

undersigned had hoped to be able to complete the traverse by the

current deadline, two recent occurrences have prevented him from doing

so. First, on February 5, 2007, the undersigned was appointed by the

Ninth Circuit to represent a defendant in a case being reconsidered by

the en banc court. The undersigned filed supplemental briefs in that

case on February 21 and March 14, 2007, and he participated in oral

argument in San Francisco on March 21, 2007. Second, one of the

attorneys in the habeas/appeals unit of the Federal Defender’s Office

has recently left on maternity leave, and the undersigned has taken

over seven of her cases, two of which have required immediate and

substantial attention. 

This extension is not interposed to unduly delay the proceedings,

to gain unfair advantage, or for any other improper purpose. The

undersigned has contacted respondent's counsel, Supervising Deputy

Attorney General Jennifer Anne Neill, who graciously indicated that she

has no opposition to the requested extension. Accordingly, petitioner

requests this Court enter the order being filed simultaneously with

this request.

Dated: March 30, 2007
