WILLIAM GITTERE, et al.,
Respondents.

In this capital habeas corpus action, on April 3, 2020, the petitioner, Robert

13

McConnell, represented by appointed counsel, filed a second amended petition for writ

14

of habeas corpus (ECF No. 95) and several supporting exhibits (ECF No. 96).

15

Respondents’ response to the second amended petition will be due June 2, 2020. See

16

Order filed December 3, 2019 (ECF No. 91) (60 days for response).

17

With his second amended petition and exhibits, McConnell filed a motion

18

requesting temporary relief from Local Rule LR IC 2-2(g), which would normally require

19

him to submit courtesy copies of his second amended petition and exhibits because

20

they exceed 50 pages. McConnell asks that his compliance with LR IC 2-2(g) be

21

suspended until the Court rescinds General Orders 2020-5, 2020-4 and 2020-3, which

22

concern the Court’s operations during the COVID-19 outbreak. Respondents do not

23

oppose McConnell’s motion.

24

Good cause appearing,

25

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Temporary Relief from

26

LR IC 2-2(g) is GRANTED. The parties’ compliance with LR IC 2-2(g) is suspended, in

27

this case, until the Court rescinds General Orders 2020-5, 2020-4 and 2020-3, or until

28

otherwise ordered.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, within 60 days after the Court rescinds General

2

Orders 2020-5, 2020-4 and 2020-3, or as otherwise ordered, the parties will be required

3

to bring their compliance with LR IC 2-2(g) up to date by submitting to the Court—to the

4

Clerk’s Office in Reno—courtesy copies of all documents filed under this order to which

5

LR IC 2-2(g) would apply.
