                ORDER FILED. Barry G. SILVERMAN, Johnnie B. RAWLINSON The request for a certificate of appealability (Docket Entry No. 5) is granted with respect to the following issue: whether appellant has raised a colorable Double Jeopardy claim in the context of Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), based on the argument that issue preclusion precludes the prosecution in appellants retrial from relitigating the allegation that appellant was the actual killer. See 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(3); see also 9th Cir. R. 22-1(e); Wilson v. Belleque, 554 F.3d 816, 825-26 (9th Cir. 2009). The opening brief is due December 9, 2025. The answering brief is due January 8, 2026. The optional reply brief is due 21 days after the answering brief is served. The clerk will serve on appellant the After Opening a Case Counseled Cases document. If Rob Bonta is no longer the appropriate appellee in this case, counsel for appellee must notify the court by letter, within 21 days, of the correct substitute party. See Fed. R. App. P. 43(c).
