DEATH PENALTY CASE

v.
WARDEN, San Quentin State Prison,

15

ORDER

Respondent.

16
On March 17, 2020 counsel for respondent filed a request seeking to modify the

17
18

scheduling order, vacate the deposition deadline, and continue the hearing set for March 20, 2020

19

due to the COVID-19 virus. (ECF No. 594.) Good cause appearing the court will grant the

20

request.
Respondent also indicated that the parties have discussed, but not come to a complete

21
22

agreement, regarding the vacation of the April 24, 2020 deposition deadline. Because the parties

23

are not in agreement the court declines to rule on modification of the deposition deadline at this

24

time. The parties may file a stipulation or motion should they wish to vacate the pending

25

deadline.
