 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. Since receiving the answer, I have been preparing 

the traverse, but have been unable to complete it because I 

completed the following matters: Appellant’s Opening Brief 

to the Ninth Circuit in Gonzalez v. Woodford, CV-06-2140 

filed on April 23, 2007; Objections to Report and 

Recommendation in Bernal v. Woodford, Southern District No. 

06-0558 BTM(NLS), filed April 26, 2007. 

6. I also had an evidentiary hearing granted in Kenny 

Lee v. Tilton, Central District No. CV 05-7006-CAS (FFM), 

Case 3:06-cv-02480-EMC Document 29 Filed 05/18/07 Page 2 of 5

and have had to begin locate the witnesses for that

hearing. 

7. I need additional time to complete the draft of the 

traverse, have it formatted, and filed with this Court. 

8. On May 7, 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 June 16, 2007. No further 

extensions are contemplated. 

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

California, Los Angeles County.
