On April 3, 2020, federal habeas counsel representing Robert Maury filed MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF STAY OF FEDERAL HABEAS PROCEEDINGS AND EQUITABLE TOLLING in the Eastern District of California. Maury v. Davis, 2:12-cv-01043-WBS-DB (E.D. Cal.). The motion is premised on the difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic in conducting the necessary habeas investigation. In support of the motion is a declaration by Emily Olson-Gault, Director and Chief Counsel of the American Bar Association Death Penalty Representation Project. The declaration discusses in detail the standard of care applicable to post-conviction/habeas investigation, including the need for face-to-face interviews.
