No. M1996-00110-SC-DPE-DD.
Filed July 13, 2010.
ORDER
On July 6, 2010, the State filed a Motion to Set Execution Date for Edmund Zagorski. The motion stated that Mr. Zagorski had completed the standard three-tier appeals process and that an execution date should therefore be set under Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 12.4(A). Under Rule 12.4(A) Mr. Zagorski had ten (10) days, until Friday, July 16, 2010, to file a response to such motion.
On July 12, 2010, Mr. Zagorski filed an Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Response to Motion to Set Execution Date. Because of his counsel's workload in two other capital cases and need to attend to various personal matters, Mr. Zagorski requested an extension of thirty days to file a response to the State's Motion. The Motion notes that the thirtieth day falls on Sunday, August 15, 2010, and indicates that counsel for the State does not object to the extension.
Upon due consideration of the Motion for Extension of Time, it is hereby ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. Edmund Zagorski shall have until Monday, August 16, 2010, to file a response to the State's Motion to Set Execution Date.
