On October 21, 2014, petitioner filed an unopposed motion for extension to time within
which to complete court-authorized discovery. Dkt. no. 48. He followed that motion with a
“Motion to Expand or Clarify Genetic Marking Testing Portion of Discovery Order,” which he
filed on October 29, 2014. Dkt. no. 49. Respondents subsequently filed a response to the latter
motion in which they indicated that they do not oppose it. Dkt. no. 50. Good cause appearing,
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s “Motion to Expand or Clarify Genetic
Marking Testing Portion of Discovery Order” (dkt. no. 49) is granted. Petitioner Lennon’s right
to conduct discovery is expanded to allow the Law Office of the Federal Public Defender, that
office’s expert witnesses, and NMS Labs, a facility located in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, the
right to have access to all of the evidence related to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s
Event No. 030808-1566 for the purposes of conducting DNA analysis and testing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner’s unopposed motion for extension of time

within which to complete court-authorized discovery (Dkt. no. 48) is granted as follows.
Petitioner shall have until July 22, 2015, to complete court-authorized discovery. In all other
respects, this proceeding is governed by the schedule and provisions set forth on page 16 of dkt.
no. 44, except that the option described on lines 5-8 shall be exercised within thirty (30) days of
the completion of discovery.
