Before the Court is Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. (Doc.

145.) The motion seeks a 90-day extension of time for the supplemental briefing ordered by

this Court on May 1, 2012, following remand from the Ninth Circuit. 

The Court will permit the requested extension but cautions counsel that further

continuances are disfavored. From its review of the ineffectiveness claims raised in the

amended petition that were found to be procedurally defaulted, the Court concludes that the

additional 90 days provided herein, in addition to the 90 days initially provided, should

suffice for alleging facts and legal authority in support of the claims. 

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time (Doc.

145) is GRANTED. The briefing schedule is reset as follows:

1. Petitioner shall file his supplemental brief no later than no later than October

29, 2012.

respect to this case.
