Petitioner,

Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, Petitioner Kevin James Lisle has filed, pro se,
12
a motion to waive further proceedings and voluntarily dismiss this action. (ECF No. 359.)
13
The Court has determined that Petitioner’s motion raises the questions of whether
14
Petitioner is competent to make such a waiver and whether his waiver is knowing,
15
intelligent and voluntary, and the Court has determined that a mental health examination
16
of Petitioner is necessary in order to resolve those questions. (See ECF No. 358 (Order
17
entered June 20, 2019).) Respondents and the Federal Public Defender (“FPD”) entered
18
a stipulation (ECF No. 362), and the Court approved the stipulation (ECF No. 363),
19
establishing a procedure for the mental health examination. On November 4, 2019, the
20
Court appointed an expert, Dr. Melissa Piasecki, to conduct the mental health
21
examination. (ECF No. 382.) Dr. Piasecki’s report was originally due December 31, 2019
22
(ECF No. 382), but that deadline was extended to the end of February of 2020—actually
23
March 2, 2020, as February 29 was a Saturday—by a stipulation approved by the Court
24
(ECF No. 384). Dr. Piasecki’s report has not been filed.

15 of the July 5, 2019 stipulation and order (ECF No. 363), or file a joint statement or

stipulation explaining the delay and proposing a new schedule.
