AYERS, Jr., Warden of San Quentin State Prison, Respondent. / Respondent seeks a hearing on shortened time for his renewed motion to conduct a mental examination of petitioner. Respondent filed his motion on March 26, 2010. Under Local Rule 230, the earliest date for a hearing would be April 23, with an opposition brief due on April 9 and a reply due on April 16. Respondent proposes a briefing schedule which would give petitioner until April 9 to file an opposition. The time shortened would be respondent's time to file a reply and, of course, the time permitted for petitioner and the court to review the reply prior to the proposed April 14 hearing. According to respondent, his counsel attempted to obtain a stipulation for shortened time from petitioner's counsel but was told petitioner's counsel would be unable to consider the issue and respond until April 2. 1 ORDER CHARLES D.
