DECLARATION OF MONICA KNOX

I, MONICA KNOX, declare as follows:

I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of California and admitted to practice

in the Eastern District; I am employed as an Assistant Federal Defender and, in that capacity,

represent the petitioner in this matter.

The Court appointed the Federal Defender to represent petitioner on August 28, 2006.

The court has previously granted me two extensions to file a supplemental memorandum of

points and authorities supporting the petition, extensions necessitated by a need to obtain and

review additional documents. The supplemental memorandum is due today, but I have not

been able to draft it. I am requesting one final extension of forty (40) days to draft and file the

memorandum.

When I commenced work in the office of the Federal Defender in this district in

September, 2006, I was immediately handed over fifteen cases, including this one. Many of

the cases had already been pending in the district court for some time, in some cases for years.

I had also brought five cases with me from the Federal Defender’s office in the Central

District, where I had worked for many years. It took me a few months just to review the cases

and make an assessment of what needed to be done. I attempted to deal with the oldest cases

first. 

This case was the most-recently-filed case of the cases I was handed. I made a

preliminary review of it immediately and assessed that I needed additional materials. I

arranged to get those materials. But I have been too busy with other cases to have completed

my review of the materials or to draft a pleading. Having filed necessary pleadings in several

of the cases, I have now been able to set a realistic calendar for the remaining cases, including

this one. And I am asking for forty more days to complete the pleading in this matter. I am

confident that, absent some significantly unforeseen occurrence, I will be able to file a

supplemental memorandum within that period.

For the foregoing reasons, I am requesting an additional forty (40) days, to and

including February 28, 2007, by which to file a supplemental memorandum of points and

authorities.

I have spoken by telephone with Deputy Attorney General Maria Chan, who represents

Respondents in this matter. She advises that she has no objection to an extension. I have

notified my client by mail of my intention to seek this extension.

I declare under penalty of perjury the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 18th day of January, 2007, at Sacramento, California.
