IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID J. CARPENTER,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBERT L. AYERS, Jr., Warden of

California State Prison at San Quentin,

Respondent.

NOS. C 98-2444 MMC 

 C-00-3706 MMC

 ORDER TO MEET AND 

 CONFER AND TO SUBMIT

 SCHEDULE

DEATH PENALTY CASES

By order filed December 2, 2008 (“Order”), this Court found petitioner competent to litigate

his habeas petitions in the above-titled cases. At the time the Order issued, all proceedings in said

cases had been stayed pending petitioner’s appeal to the Ninth Circuit, by which petitioner

challenged the terms of the Court's August 21, 2008 protective order. Consequently, the Order

directed the parties to set a status conference with the Court once petitioner’s appeal was decided, to

determine a litigation schedule for the resolution of petitioner's remaining claims. On August 5,

2009, the Ninth Circuit denied and dismissed petitioner’s appeal. As a result, litigation of

petitioner’s cases in district court is ready to resume. To date, however, the parties have not sought

to schedule a status conference.
