No. CV-97-224-TUC-CKJ
DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER

Before the Court is Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. (Doc.
145.) The motion seeks a 90-day extension of time for the supplemental briefing ordered by
this Court on May 1, 2012, following remand from the Ninth Circuit.
The Court will permit the requested extension but cautions counsel that further
continuances are disfavored. From its review of the ineffectiveness claims raised in the
amended petition that were found to be procedurally defaulted, the Court concludes that the

suffice for alleging facts and legal authority in support of the claims.

145) is GRANTED. The briefing schedule is reset as follows:
1.

Petitioner shall file his supplemental brief no later than no later than

September 28, 2012.
