Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
ROBERT LeGRANDE, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14
15
16

This action involves a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2254 by a Nevada state prisoner represented by counsel.

17

On December 8, 2014, this Court granted petitioner’s motion for counsel and

18

appointed the Federal Public Defender to represent petitioner in this action. (Dkt. no. 3.)

19

On January 7, 2015, Melanie Gavisk of the Federal Public Defender’s Office appeared

20

on behalf of petitioner. (Dkt. no. 5.) The Court now sets a schedule for further

21

proceedings in this action.

22

It is therefore ordered that counsel for petitioner shall meet with petitioner as

23

soon as reasonably possible, if counsel has not already done so, to: (a) review the

24

procedures applicable in cases under 28 U.S.C. § 2254; (b) discuss and explore with

25

petitioner, as fully as possible, the potential grounds for habeas corpus relief in

26

petitioner’s case; and (c) advise petitioner that all possible grounds for habeas corpus

27

relief must be raised at this time in this action and that the failure to do so will likely

28

result in any omitted grounds being barred from future review.

1

It is further ordered, so that respondents may be electronically served with the

2

amended petition and any exhibits or documents filed through counsel, that the Clerk of

3

Court shall serve respondents with a copy of this order. Respondents’ counsel shall

4

enter a notice of appearance herein within twenty (20) days of entry of this order.

5

It is further ordered that petitioner shall have ninety (90) days from the date of

6

entry of this order, to file and serve on respondents an amended petition for writ of

7

habeas corpus, which shall include all known grounds for relief (both exhausted and

8

unexhausted).

9

It is further ordered that respondents shall have thirty (30) days after service of

10

an amended petition within which to answer, or otherwise respond to, the amended

11

petition. If petitioner does not file an amended petition, respondents shall have thirty

12

(30) days from the date on which the amended petition is due within which to answer, or

13

otherwise respond to, petitioner’s original petition.

14
15

It is further ordered that if and when respondents file an answer, petitioner shall
have thirty (30) days after service of the answer to file and serve a reply.

16

It is further ordered that any state court record exhibits filed by the parties herein

17

shall be filed with an index of exhibits identifying the exhibits by number or letter. The

18

CM/ECF attachments that are filed shall further be identified by the number or numbers

19

(or letter or letters) of the exhibits in the attachment.

20

It is further ordered that the parties shall send courtesy (paper) copies of all

21

exhibits presented in support of the amended petition and the response to the amended

22

petition to the Reno Division of this Court. Courtesy copies shall be mailed to the Clerk

23

of Court, 400 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV, 89501, and directed to the attention of “Staff

24

Attorney” on the outside of the mailing address label.

25

DATED THIS 9th day of January 2015.
