Petitioner’s motion (#41) for extension of time is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN
PART, and the time for petitioner to file an amended petition is extended up to and including
September 30, 2011. Petitioner seeks an extension of 120 days beyond the 150 days initially
allowed by the scheduling order (#39) following the appointment of replacement counsel,
albeit with the caveat that petitioner is seeking only the one lengthy extension. The current
deadline is June 24, 2011. Even allowing for the number and complexity of the claims and
potential procedural issues, the Court is unable to grant more than an approximately 90 day
extension.

The Court will consider a request for further extension only in the most

extraordinary of circumstances. Counsel should pursue any pending requests for any
outstanding materials or information needed to prepare an amended petition immediately with
the utmost dispatch.
DATED: June 20, 2011.
