No. M1987-00130-SC-DPE-DD.Supreme Court of Tennessee.
Filed: May 6, 2010.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
On April 30, 2010, the State filed a Motion to Set Execution Date for Stephen Michael West. The motion stated that Mr. West 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. West had ten (10) days, until Monday, May 10, 2010, to file a response to such motion.
On May 4, 2010, Stephen Michael West filed a Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to State’s Motion to Set Execution Date. Because of pre-existing responsibilities on the part of both counsel and difficulties occasioned by the recent flooding in Nashville, Mr. West requested an extension of two weeks to file a response to the State’s Motion. 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. Stephen Michael West shall have until Monday, May 24, 2010, to file a response to the State’s Motion to Set Execution Date.
