A question has arisen whether Attorney Bryan may file a reply to the brief of Attorney

Rifkin on the issue of whether petitioner may dismiss certain claims from his petition for writ of
19
habeas corpus. So far, a reply has not been authorized and a request for one will not be
20
considered until after Attorney Rifkin’s brief is filed this Wednesday, January 28.
The proper way to request the filing of a reply that is not automatically provided for is to

do so by written motion. Any such motion is due by Friday, January 30 at noon. The motion
23
will be limited to three pages, double-spaced. Footnotes and attachments will not be
24
considered. If a reply is granted, it will be limited to the legal issue addressed in Attorney
25
Rifkin’s brief.
