(Dkt. Nos. 15 and 16.) These federal proceedings were stayed until recently when petitioner’s

counsel informed the court that exhaustion is complete. (Dkt. No. 33.) The undersigned

recommended lifting the stay and scheduled a case management conference, which was held on

 Since budget applications require disclosure of matters protected by the attorney-client 1

privilege or work product doctrine, confidentiality is an inherent and necessary part of the

budgeting process. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(3). Accordingly, orders and filings regarding

petitioner’s counsel’s budgets will be filed under seal and not served on counsel for respondent. 

Cf. 18 U.S.C. § 3599(f). The provisions of Local Rule 141 regarding the notice of filing a sealed

document is suspended with respect to budget documents. Any ex parte court proceeding

regarding funding will be reported and maintained under seal.

petitioner. A separate, sealed order will issue regarding matters discussed at the budgeting

conference.1

Based on the representations of counsel, and good cause appearing, IT IS

HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. Within thirty days of the filed date of this order respondent shall lodge the state

court record and file an index in conformance with Local Rule 191(j)(1).

2. By February 9, 2011, petitioner shall file his first amended petition. This date

is based on petitioner’s counsel’s representation of the time it will take him to familiarize himself

with the case and prepare an amended petition. Petitioner’s counsel is advised that by setting this

date, the court takes no position on any issues regarding the statute of limitations. 

3. After the petition is filed, the court will order a case management conference to

set a date for respondent to file the answer or motion to dismiss. 

DATED: March 18, 2010
