The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its memorandum opinion on February 22,

19

2013, vacating this Court’s judgment and remanding for consideration of the timeliness of the

20

petition based upon the Ninth Circuit’s opinion in Bills v. Clark, 628 F.3d 1092 (9th Cir. 2010).

21

The Court of Appeals’ mandate was issued on March 18, 2013. On March 19, 2013, respondents

22

filed a Motion to Dismiss the Petition as Procedurally Barred, which addresses a novel issue that

23

is not related to the underlying issue on appeal - whether the petition is entitled to equitable

24

tolling of the statute of limitations under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d).

The parties hereby stipulate and agree that the current briefing schedule on respondents’
