 Attorney for Petitioner 

DECLARATION OF CARLA J. JOHNSON 

I, Carla J. Johnson, declare under penalty of perjury 

and the laws of the United States and the state of 

California, that the following is true: 

1. I am the attorney of record for petitioner Jose

Perez Medina. 

2. On 5/11/06, this Court ordered respondent to show 

cause why the writ should not be issued. This Court ordered 

that a traverse should be filed within 30 days of that 

answer. 

3. On 1/31/07, this Court granted respondent’s motion 

for extension of time to file response. 

4. On April 16, 2007, respondent filed a 30 page 

answer. 

5. On May 18, 2007, this Court granted petitioner’s 

first motion for extension of time. 

6. I now need a second extension due to a family 

emergency. My mother’s 90 year old sister in Illinois is 

ill and my mother needs me to accompany her in the trip to 

see her only sister. My mother is 85 and will need 

assistance in changing planes and getting around once we 

arrive.

7. I have begun preparing the traverse, but I have been 

unable to complete it, due to other matters, including 

drafting and filing the Traverse in Tin Tri Nguyen v. 

Tilton, CV 06-1414 (MJJ), as well as preparing for an 

evidentiary hearing in Kenny Lee v. Tilton, Central

District No. CV 05-7006-CAS (FFM), as well as work required 

on one automatic appeal, People v. Poynton, S096809, and 

one capital habeas case, In re John A. Riccardi, S056842. 

8. On June 4, 2007, I emailed a message for 

respondent’s attorney Ross C. Moody, asking whether he had 

an objection to my request for enlargement of time to file 

traverse. That same day Ross C. Moody emailed me back to 

say he had no objection to a 30 day extension. 

9. For these reasons, I am requesting an enlargement 

of time to file traverse, until July 16, 2007. No further 

extensions are contemplated. 

Executed this 7th day of June, 2007, in Long Beach,

California, Los Angeles County.
