STIPULATION AND[PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE THE SECOND AMENDED PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Kent J. Dawson, U.S. District Judge
Upon Hill's motion, the Court reopened his case on November 10, 2021. See ECF 129. Currently, Hill's second amended petition for writ of habeas corpus is due April 11, 2022.
The parties hereby stipulate and agree to a second extension of time for briefing the second amended petition for 91 days. Mr. Hill will have until July 11, 2022, to file his second amended petition.
This extension is intended to allow counsel to devote adequate time to the second amended petition. Since the first extension of time was filed, Mr. Hill appeared before the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners on January 26, 2022, on the first degree murder and sexual assault charges. Although the parole board officially denied Mr. Hill's parole on February 4, 2022, counsel did not learn the results of the hearing until March 9, 2022. Good cause exists for this extension as counsel has had an especially busy capital caseload. The additional time will allow Mr. Hill to adequately prepare the second amended petition.
By stipulating to this extension, Respondents do not waive any possible defenses to the existing petitions or future petitions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
