v.

Charles L. Ryan, et al.,

Respondents.

Counsel for Respondents has filed a request for ruling asking the court to prioritize

18
19

its consideration of Petitioner’s 25 remaining habeas claims. (Doc. 236.) The Court
understands Respondents’ position. As counsel aptly notes, the prescriptive time for

20
21

ruling has not yet passed, and the case has a lengthy and complicated procedural history.

22

Of course, counsel is also aware of the many cases that have been remanded to this Court

23

for reconsideration under Martinez v. Ryan, in addition to the Court’s already heavy

24

docket.
The Court appreciates the matter being brought to its attention, and is attempting
