DECLARATION OF COUNSEL

I, David M. Porter, declare as follows:

1. I am employed by the Office of the Federal Defender for the

Eastern District of California and the attorney responsible for the

above-entitled matter. 

2. On February 13, 2007, this Court issued an order setting the 

deadline for the filing of a motion for evidentiary hearing or traverse

on June 13, 2007.

3. While the undersigned has exercised diligence in meeting the

deadline, he has been unable to do so because of his duties in other

cases, which included visiting a client in the AdMax facility in

Florence, Colorado on May 23, 2007, and the need to attend a funeral in

Chicago, Illinois on June 1, 2007. In addition to his ongoing duties

as supervisor of the habeas and appeals unit, the undersigned has had,

and continues to have, numerous filing deadlines and court appearances

in other cases, including: a reply to response to objections to

findings and recommendations in Smith, v. Curry, Civ. S 03-1871 LKK

KJM, on June 8, 2007; oral argument in the Ninth Circuit on June 13,

2007; and a Ninth Circuit opening brief and a parole hearing on June

25, 2007. 

4. On June 12, 2007, the undersigned contacted counsel for

respondent, Deputy Attorney General R. Todd Marshall, who graciously

indicated that he has no objection to this request.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the matters herein as to

which I have personal knowledge are true and correct, and as to other

matters, I believe them to be true and correct.

DATED: June 12, 2007
