DONALD HOLBROOK,

Before the court is Petitioner Dayva Cross’s “Status Update.” (Stat. Rep. (Dkt.
16
# 73).) Mr. Cross submits his update in part as a result of the Washington Supreme
17
Court’s recent decision in State v. Gregory, 427 P.3d 621, 631 (Wash. 2018). (See Stat.
18
Rep. at 1.) In that decision, the Court held that Washington’s death penalty is
19
unconstitutional, as administered, and converted all death sentences in Washington State
20
to life imprisonment. See Gregory, 427 P.3d at 642. Mr. Cross informs the court that, in
21
light of Gregory, “counsel are currently evaluating the appropriate next steps in this
22
matter, both in this court and in the Washington Supreme Court and will keep the court
ORDER - 1
1
apprised of the status.” (Stat. Rep. at 2.) The court, therefore, ORDERS counsel to file a
2
joint status report in this case every six months beginning six months from the date of this
3
order. In addition, the court ORDERS counsel to file a joint status report within 15 days
4
of any change in the status or procedural posture of this case of which the court should be
5
aware.
