resolved. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled on those issues for November 13, 2015. A hearing could not be scheduled sooner than that date because of various conflicts with the district court’s schedule, the schedules of the parties’ attorneys, and the schedules of Applicant’s trial attorneys, whose testimony is needed at the evidentiary hearing.

III.

The district court respectfully asks that this Court extend the time frame for the district court to resolve the issues in Applicant’s writ applications to a date 45 days after the evidentiary hearing. This will give the district court time to enter findings of fact and conclusions-of law after the hearing

IV. Both parties are unopposed to this motion. FOR THE ABOVE REASONS, the Honorable Matt Johnson, Judge presiding,

respectfully asks that this motion be granted

Respectfully submitted,
