D.I. 2. The undersigned filed an answer to the petition on May 5, 2006. 2. By the terms of the Court's order, the respondents are directed to attach to the
answer certified copies of the state court records material to the questions raised in the petitioner's appeal. 3. Due to the large volume of record retrieval recently required by prosecutors in the
appeals division, the undersigned has been unable to obtain the certified state court records in order to file them contemporaneously with the answer. The undersigned anticipates obtaining and copying the records on or before May 31, 2006.
