of time to file petitioner’s traverse. 

 (3) Pursuant to the order of this court dated March 7, 2008, petitioner’s traverse is 

due on March 21, 2008. 

 (4) I have been working diligently on preparing the traverse, but due to the fact that 

my elderly mother’s death is imminent; her doctors are working to maintain her life while 

awaiting the arrival of my sister from Australia, I need to be in Los Angeles. 

 (5) On March 19, 2008, my assistant e-mailed Justain Riley, Deputy Attorney 

General, and respondent’s counsel, advising him that I intended to file this motion, and asking 

him to contact me if he had any objections thereto. I have not received a response from Mr. 

Riley. 

 (6) I believe I have shown good cause for a short extension of time, and I do not 

believe respondent will be prejudiced by the delay. 

 I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. 

DATED: March 19, 2008 JOSEPH J. WISEMAN, P.C. 

 By: /s/ Joseph J. Wiseman 

 JOSEPH J. WISEMAN
