IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION AT DAYTON
WARREN WADDY,
Petitioner,
Case No. 3:98-cv-084
District Judge Timothy S. Black
Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz
-v:
NORMAN ROBINSON, Warden,
Respondent.
SCHEDULING ORDER
This capital habeas corpus case is before the Court upon the filing of Judge Black’s
Decision and Entry Overruling Respondent’s Objections (Doc. No. 206) to the Magistrate
Judge’s Order granting leave to amend the Petition to add two lethal injection grounds for relief
(Doc. No. 182). While those Objections were pending, Petitioner sought and was granted leave
to file a second amended petition bringing before this Court his claim under Atkins v. Virginia,
536 U.S. 304 (2002), on which state court remedies were recently exhausted (See Doc. Nos. 199,
201, 204).
It is accordingly ordered that Petitioner file the proposed second amended petition
(attached to Doc. No. 204) forthwith. The attachments to that document which were submitted
as attachments under seal are appropriate for sealing because of their content and may be filed
under seal if made available to opposing counsel.
The Warden shall file an amended answer/return of writ not later than February 15, 2013.
Prior to filing the amended return, the Warden shall file electronically the entire state court
record, including both the record heretofore filed and the new record generated in the Atkins
post-conviction proceedings. When the record is filed electronically, the Court’s CM/ECF filing
system will affix a unique PageID number to each page of the record, displayed in the upper
right-hand corner of the page. All papers filed in the case thereafter, by either party, including
the amended answer and the exhibit index, shall include record references to the PageID number.
Prior to filing the state court record, the Warden’s counsel shall ensure that any borders on parts
of the record (typically, court reporter transcripts) do not obscure the PageID number when the
page is filed.
Not later than thirty days after the amended answer/return of writ is filed, Petitioner shall
file an amended reply/traverse.
Prior to the time the amended reply/traverse is filed, counsel for the parties shall consult
among themselves to discuss the issues which would ordinarily be discussed by counsel in civil
cases generally under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and file with the Court a proposed schedule for any
other events in the case after pleadings are complete, including without limitation, a date for
moving for any additional discovery and for completing that discovery.
January 4, 2013.
