STATEMENT OF FACTS AND MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER'S MOTION

Petitioner, Eliot Scott Grizzle, seeks leave to file a 38-page memorandum of points and

19 authorities in support of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The memorandum address five claims for 20 relief. Some of the claims involve intricate factual and procedural histories, and others require extended legal 21 analysis. Given the number of claims for relief, and given the complicated factual and procedural history of 22 Mr. Grizzle's state court proceedings, he submits that a brief in excess of the 25-page limit is appropriate. 23 Mr. Grizzle also seeks leave to file his exhibits late. Counsel for Mr. Grizzle has compiled

24 hundreds of pages of exhibits from the state court record and a disc containing a one-hour interview of one 25 of the central witnesses in the case. Unfortunately, defense counsel has had difficulty formatting the exhibits 26 so that they can be e-filed in a comprehensible format. Counsel requests that he be allowed to file the exhibits 27 by the end of the week, January 18, 2008. 28
