On June 4, 2007 I was appointed to represent Seng Vue, a

defendant in what is known here as the Hmong/Laotion case. There

the government has charged my client and eleven others, inter

alia, with conspiring to overthrow the Laotion government.

Because of the nature of the case, the extended family situation,

my client’s age, his health and the fact he lives, with his

family in Fresno California, I have spent an enormous amount of

time preparing for a his detention hearing, attending family

meetings and strategy sessions with other lawyers. In addition,

appellant’s opening brief in Jones v McGrath was filed on July

30, 2007. I have also been working on the opening brief in United

States v Witbeck, the AOB for which was filed on August 8, 2007.

Jones v McGrath is a complicated matter which has taken most, if

not all of my time since the major issues (for now) in the Seng

Vue matter resolved with my client’s release from custody and the

preparation of documents supporting his conditions of release. In

addition, I am the attorney of record in the matter of the People

v Kellie Henderson, a two defendant, special circumstances

homicide case scheduled to begin trial on today’s date. In that

matter, which had once been mistried, was able finally to work

out and finalize a resolution for my client the second week of

August.

Accordingly, the status conference report in the above

captioned matter got a little sidetracked, much to counsel’s

regret and chagrin. 

For all of the above reasons it is the undersigned’s request

that this request for late filing be granted and that

petitioner’s status conference report be filed on August 21,

2007.

On August 21, 2007 I called respondent’s counsel to explain

my request and left a message for him on his answering machine.

Appellant is presently in custody of the California

Department of Corrections serving his term.

Dated: August 21, 2007

Respectfully Submitted,

/S/MICHAEL B. BIGELOW
