ORDER

The undersigned held a first case management conference on October 16, 2015. Assistant Federal Defenders Tivon Schardl and Karl Saddlemire appeared for petitioner. Deputy Attorney General Laura Wetzel Simpton appeared for respondent. At the conference counsel for both parties stipulated that the federal habeas petition in this action is due to be filed and served by August 19, 2016. The court directed respondent to lodge the state court record electronically. Respondent's counsel stated that respondent should be able to do so within the 45-day time limit set out in Local Rule 191(h)(1). However, recognizing that electronic lodging of the record is new and time-consuming, the court assured respondent that a request for a reasonable extension of time to lodge the record should be granted if it proves necessary.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. By August 19, 2016, petitioner shall file the petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. References to the state court record in the petition shall use the identification system set out in the Notice of Lodging, described below. Each reference shall thus include the docket number for the Notice of Lodging, the attachment number, and the Bate-stamp numbers followed, in parentheses, by the abbreviated name of the volume of the record and any internal pagination. For example, if the Notice of Lodging appears as electronic court filing number 40 and the first attachment is the first 300 pages of the Clerk's Transcript on Appeal, the citation form would be "ECF No. 40-1, AG00001-AG00300 (CT 1-300)). The petition need not include points and authorities regarding the application of 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). 2. By November 6, 2015, respondent shall file a Notice of Lodging and lodge with the court the state court record as set out below. a. The lodged record shall meet the following requirements: (i) It shall contain (a) transcripts of the state trial court proceedings; (b) appellant's and respondent's briefs on direct appeal to the California Supreme Court, and the opinion or orders of that Court; and (c) petitioner's and respondent's briefs in any state court habeas corpus proceedings, and all opinions, orders and transcripts of such proceedings. (ii) The entire record shall be Bate-stamped. Bate-stamp numbering shall be in the format AG00001, AG00002, etc. to distinguish it from other numbering systems in the record. (iii) The entire record shall be scanned. (iv) The entire record shall be converted to an OCR format. (v) State sealed documents shall be lodged in paper form. b. The Notice of Lodging shall be filed on the court's electronic filing system. Each item of the state court record shall be lodged as an attachment to the Notice of Lodging. For each separate attachment, the Notice of Lodging shall identify the attachment number, the Bate-stamp numbers, and the name of that part of the record, including its internal pagination, if any. For example, the attachment identified above in paragraph 1 would be listed in the Notice of Lodging as: "Attachment #1, AG00001-AG00300 (CT 1-300)." The identical identifying information shall also be included as the docket title of each electronically lodged attachment to the Notice of Lodging. To the extent possible, each separate paper volume of the state court record shall be lodged as one attachment. 3. After the petition is filed, the court will hold a case management conference to discuss whether the petition contains unexhausted claims and to set any due dates for the filing of an answer and/or other briefing as may be deemed appropriate by the court at that time after consulting with counsel.
