 Petitioner,

State Prison at San Quentin, 

 Respondent.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00223-JLT

DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED 

MOTION TO MODIFY BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE

(Doc. 102)

Respondent Ron Broomfield, Warden of the California State Prison at San Quentin, 

through counsel Deputy Attorney General Justain Riley, moves to modify case scheduling to 

provide for staggered rather than simultaneous merits briefing. (Doc. 102.) This is 

Respondent’s first request to modify the briefing schedule. 

Counsel for Respondent represents that counsel for Petitioner, the Habeas Corpus 

Resource Center, does not oppose the requested relief. (Doc. 102 at 1 n.1.) 

The Court finds good cause to modify the current case schedule (Doc. 94), as agreed to 

by counsel for the parties. 

ACCORDINGLY, 

1. Petitioner shall file his substantive full scope brief in support of the 28 U.S.C. 

1 Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 25(d), Ron Broomfield, Warden of San Quentin State 

Prison, shall be substituted as Respondent in place of his predecessor wardens.
