UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES RAY BROWN,

Petitioner,

v.

JAMES A. YATES,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:10-cv-00219-LJO-SAB (HC)

ORDER FOLLOWING REMAND FROM 

THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF 

APPEALS AND EXPANDING THE 

RECORD

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

(ECF No. 39)

Pursuant to the mandate of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the 

case of James Ray Brown v. James A. Yates, case no. 11-16131, the judgment of the district 

court was vacated and this case was remanded for further development of the record. The Ninth 

Circuit noted that “Brown’s state habeas petition and memorandum of law, offered under penalty 

of perjury, provide the only evidence in the record pertaining to the legal advice offered by his 

trial counsel regarding the state’s plea offer.” The Ninth Circuit also noted that, “[r]egarding 

prejudice, however, Brown may be able to demonstrate ‘a reasonable probability that ...[he] 

would have accepted the plea and the prosecution would not have withdrawn it..., that the court 

would have accepted its terms, and that the conviction or sentence...would have been less severe 

than [what was] imposed.’” Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 7 of the Rules Governing Section 

2254 Cases and the Ninth Circuit’s mandate, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. Respondent SHALL FILE a BRIEF and any ADDITIONAL MATERIALS to 

Case 1:10-cv-00219-LJO-SAB Document 40 Filed 10/02/14 Page 1 of 2

order. 

2. Petitioner SHALL FILE a BRIEF and any ADDITIONAL MATERIALS to 

further develop the record within THIRTY (30) days of the date Respondent’s 

Brief and Additional Materials are filed with the Court.

All briefs shall be filed without oral argument unless otherwise ordered by the Court. 

Local Rule 230(l). Extensions of time will only be granted upon a showing of good cause. All 

provisions of Local Rule 110 are applicable to this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
