After the traverse is filed, respondent will be given an opportunity to seek leave to file a reply memorandum, if necessary. 2. Before March 10, 2011, the parties shall meet and confer regarding a schedule for these proceedings and, specifically, any discovery either party intends to seek. By March 10, 2011, each party shall file a status report proposing a schedule, describing the discovery he will seek, and outlining any opposition to the discovery the other party will seek. The parties are advised that the undersigned finds that summary judgement is usually not an efficient or costsaving procedure in a habeas case. Rather, the court contemplates that after the litigation of any procedural issues, the parties may thereafter complete discovery, then petitioner may file a motion for an evidentiary hearing, and, after any evidentiary hearing, the parties will file final merits briefs on all issues. 3. On March 17, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., the undersigned will hold a status conference in courtroom # 25. DATED: October 15, 2010
