KEVIN JAMES LISLE,

Case No. 2:03-cv-01006-MMD-CWH
Petitioner,
ORDER
v.
RENEE BAKER, et al.,
13
Respondents.
14
15
In this capital habeas corpus action, on May 12, 2015, petitioner’s counsel filed
16
an ex parte motion to withdraw (dkt. no. 213 (sealed)). The Court denied that motion on
17
July 31, 2015 (dkt. no. 225 (sealed)). On August 21, 2015, petitioner's counsel filed an
18
ex parte motion for reconsideration of that order (dkt. no. 229 (sealed)). The motion for
19
reconsideration is pending.
20
Respondents filed a motion to dismiss on December 26, 2014 (dkt. no. 182).
21
The parties were briefing that motion when petitioner's counsel filed their motion to
22
withdraw. Petitioner filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 27, 2015 (dkt.
23
no. 206). As a result of the litigation of petitioner's counsel's motion to withdraw, and in
24
compliance with the Court's orders, respondents have filed only a partial reply in support
25
of their motion to dismiss (dkt. no. 221). In addition, petitioner apparently intends to file
26
a motion for leave to conduct discovery and/or a motion for evidentiary hearing related
27
to his opposition to the motion to dismiss. The filing and briefing of any motion for leave
28
to conduct discovery and/or motion for an evidentiary hearing, and respondents' further
1
reply in support of the motion to dismiss, has been delayed by the adjudication of the
2
motion to withdraw.
3
On July 31, 2015, when the Court denied the motion to withdraw, the Court
4
ordered that petitioner was to file any motion for leave to conduct discovery and/or
5
motion for evidentiary hearing related to his opposition to the motion to dismiss within
6
20 days ― by August 20, 2015.
7
On August 20, 2015, petitioner filed a motion for extension of time (dkt. no. 227),
8
requesting that the deadline for him to file any motion for leave to conduct discovery
9
and/or motion for evidentiary hearing related to his opposition to the motion to dismiss
10
be suspended until after the Court rules on the motion for reconsideration of the order
11
denying his counsel's motion to withdraw. Respondents do not oppose the motion for
12
extension of time.
13
The Court finds that petitioner's motion for extension of time is made in good faith
14
and not solely for the purpose of delay, and that there is good cause for the extension of
15
time requested.
16
It is therefore ordered that petitioner's motion for extension of time (dkt. no. 227)
17
is granted. The deadline for petitioner to file any motion for leave to conduct discovery
18
and/or motion for evidentiary hearing related to his opposition to the motion to dismiss is
19
suspended until after the Court rules on the motion for reconsideration of the order
20
denying his counsel's motion to withdraw. The Court will reset that deadline after it rules
21
on the motion for reconsideration.
22
23
DATED THIS 28th day of August 2015.
