DECLARATION OF COUNSEL

I, David M. Porter, declare as follows:

1. I am employed by the Office of the Federal Defender for the

Eastern District of California and the attorney responsible for the

above-entitled matter. 

2. On April 6, 2007, this Court issued findings and

recommendations that the petition be denied, and set the deadline for

the filing of objections for twenty days from the date of the findings

and recommendations.

3. While the undersigned has exercised diligence in preparing

the objections, he has been unable to complete them because of his

duties in other cases. He is currently filing a petition for writ of

mandate against the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation and its Board of Parole Hearings in Sacramento Superior

Court, and has many other rapidly approaching deadlines and

appearances, including: the filing of a status report in Rubish v.

Evans, CIV F 05-00687 LJO DLB, and a traverse in Rodriguez v. Muntz,

Civ. S 05-2013 DFL DAD, on May 7, 2007; a traverse in Brodheim v. Veal,

Civ. S 06-2326 LKK GGH, on May 9, 2007; an answering brief in the Ninth

Circuit on May 13, 2007; a reply to response to objections to findings

and recommendations in Saffold v. Mendoza-Powers, Civ. S 98-1040 DFL

JFM, on May 14, 2007; a reply to response to objections to findings and

recommendations in Smith, v. Curry, Civ. S 03-1871 LKK KJM, on May 21,

2007; and a parole hearing on May 31, 2007. Additional time is also

needed to consult with Mr. Hubbard, who has taken an active role in the

litigation.
