On June 1, 2006, petitioner filed a document entitled “Petitioner’s Status Report

Re: Discovery” (Doc. 202). In that document, petitioner’s counsel outlined current meet-andconfer efforts regarding discovery materials and physical evidence. Counsel stated that he

supplied opposing counsel with an index of all pretrial discovery petitioner received. Finally,

counsel stated their optimism that the matter could be resolved informally.
