DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONERS

REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

This matter is before the Court on the Application of Petitioner

Paul C. Bolin (“Bolin”) to modify the previously established briefing

schedule in the Court’s January 27, 2006 Order Following First Phase

III Case Management Conference (document #155). Under that order,

Bolin’s opening memorandum of points and authorities in support of the

Amended Petition is due for May 30, 2006. The opposition brief of

Eddie S. Ylst, As Acting Warden of San Quentin State Prison (the

“Warden”) is to be filed 120 days thereafter, and Bolin’s reply brief

is due 60 days after the filing of Warden’s opposition brief.

In the present application, Bolin asks that the entire briefing

schedule be pushed back approximately two weeks to permit completion

of informal and formal discovery prior the drafting and finalization

of his opening memorandum of points and authorities. Bolin explains

that informal discovery requests currently are outstanding to the Kern

County District Attorney’s Office and that a voluntary response is

anticipated late this month (April 2006). The response Bolin’s

litigation team receives from the District Attorney’s Office will

inform ensuing formal discovery requests, if any. Bolin does not

provide an estimate for when he anticipates filing a formal request

for discovery. 

To avoid having to modify the briefing schedule a second time,

in the event Bolin decides to request formal discovery, the Court

establishes a due date for any formal discovery motion pursuant to

Rule 6 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. That due date is May 15,

2006. Once discovery is authorized (if it is authorized), all formal

discovery should be completed by June 15, 2006. The Court grants

Bolin one month the assimilate any discovered materials into his

opening memorandum of points and authorities; the due date for that

document is on or before July 17, 2006. The Warden’s opposition

points and authorities shall be filed within 120 from the filing of

Bolin’s opening brief, and Bolin will file his reply brief in 60 days

from the filing of the Warden’s opposition brief. Bolin will then

schedule the second Phase III CMC to be conducted within 30 days of

the filing of his reply brief.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 3, 2006
