Petitioner,

v.

MARTIN D. BITER,

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with a petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent filed an answer to the petition on 

February 13, 2014. Thereafter, petitioner’s counsel of record requested and received extensions 

of time to file a traverse. Despite the granting of extensions of time, no traverse was filed.

Petitioner has now submitted a proposed substitution of counsel to which his current counsel of 

record has stipulated. (Doc. No. 52.) The proposed substitution of counsel will be allowed and 

petitioner’s new counsel will be granted sixty days within which to file a traverse. After the 

traverse is filed, this matter will stand submitted for decision.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s proposed substitution of counsel is granted. Joseph J. Wiseman, CSBN
