The Court is in receipt of the parties joint statement regarding record-based claims that
17
18
can proceed to briefing on the merits without a request for an evidentiary hearing. Petitioner
19
identified fourteen such claims. The parties are directed to brief the merits of the claims.
In the interest of efficiency, and in order to avoid oversize briefs, the parties shall divide
20
21
the claims into two groups (by grouping together, for example, claims that have the same
22
factual predicates), and shall file two rounds of briefing, with each brief addressing no more
23
than eight claims.
Accordingly, by May 12, 2015, petitioner shall file his opening brief. The response is
24
25
due on or before June 11, 2015. The optional reply is due within fifteen days of the date of
26
service of the response.
