I have been extensively involved in the development of a claim of

factual innocence in the matter of Thornton v. Butler. To that

end, my investigator and I traveled to Little Rock Arkansas to

meet with a witness. Thereafter, I was required to file a motion

for stay and abeyance of federal proceedings on October 23, 2007.

In order to justify my request, and because the factual basis is

quite convoluted, my motion was far more exhaustive than the

usual situation. In addition, I prepared and filed in the Ninth

Circuit the opening brief in Hogan v Hamlet. That brief was

filed on October 21, 2007. In Martin v Hubbard, a matter on

remand from the Ninth Circuit, the attorney general has moved to

dismiss. As part of the support of its motion, they have cited

(surveyed) a multitude of cases which I have been attempting to

review. In addition, in the Hmong case I have identified a number

of witnesses I must interview and I have scheduled that interview

for the latter part of this week and the first part of next week.

Preparation for these interviews has required considerable time

culling through the over 35,000 pages of discovery.

Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that I be

permitted up to and including November 30, 2007 within which to

file said supplemental points and authorities.
