September 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 270 DECISION AND ORDER denying 267 Motion to Bifurcate. The parties shall, not later than September 15. 2021, submit a joint proposed scheduling order forfactual discovery and evidentiary hearing. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 9/1/21. (pb)
August 10, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 266 ORDER denying the Wardens Appeal of the Magistrate Judges Decision as to Claims Eight and Nine (ECF No. 247) and his Appeal as to Claim Thirty-One (ECF No. 254) is DENIED. The Wardens Motion to Stay (ECF No. 252) is DENIED. Hasans Motion for Recons ideration of this Courts Order (ECF No. 248) is GRANTED, and the Courts previous Order (ECF No. 246) is VACATED. The parties are ORDERED to submit, within thirty (30) days of this Order, a joint proposed scheduling order that will contain dates for factual discovery and evidentiary hearing on Claims Eight, Nine, and Thirty-One. Signed by Judge Susan J. Dlott on 8/10/2021. (wam)
April 28, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 246 ORDER Adopting 119 and 81 Report and Recommendations in full except as where expressly set forth. Hasans Objections (ECF No. 91) and Supplemental Objections (ECF No. 122) are DENIED. The Petition (ECF No. 16) is DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJ UDICE as to all claims except Claims Eight, Nine, and Thirty-One. Judgment shall ultimately enter in favor of the Warden and against Hasan on the remaining thirty-two claims. No reasonable jurist would find that Hasan has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right[,] 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2), or would disagree with the undersigneds conclusions with respect to Claims One through Seven, Ten through Twenty-Eight, Thirty, and Thirty-Three through Thirty-Five, and Petitio ner is denied a certificate of appealability on those claims. However, as reasonable jurists could disagree with the undersigneds conclusions as to Claims Twenty-Nine and Thirty-Two, Hasan is granted a certificate of appealability only as to those claims. Because Hasans appeal on these issues do not lack a basis in law or fact, Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989); Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962), Hasan will ultimately be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis. Claims Eight, Nine, and Thirty-One remain pending before this Court.. Signed by Judge Susan J. Dlott on 4/28/2021. (wam)
April 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 243 ORDER ON CLAIMS EIGHT AND NINE - The Court finds that the Martinez-Trevino exception, applied to Ohio cases via White, constitutes good cause and prejudice to excuse the procedural default of Claims Eight and Nine. Not later than May 4, 2021, the p arties shall submit a joint discovery plan, including a proposed date for evidentiary hearing. Upon agreement of the parties, such a plan may encompass discovery and hearing for Claim Thirty-One as well (See Order, ECF No. 238, PageID 15263). Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 4/5/2021. (kpf)
March 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 238 ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL BRIEFING - The undersigned's Order Denying Leave to Amend (ECF No. 216) is VACATED. Hasan's Motion for Leave to Amend Claim Thirty-One (ECF No. 210) is GRANTED. Hasan shall file Amended Claim Thirty-One within fourte en days of the entry of this Order. The Warden shall file a Return of Writ as to Amended Claim Thirty-One only within twenty-one days of the filing of the Amended Claim, and Hasan shall file a Traverse as to Amended Claim Thirty-One only within f ourteen days of the filing of the Return of Writ.

(kpf)
May 20, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 216 DECISION AND ORDER - Petitioners Motion to Amend Claim Thirty-One (ECF No. 210) is DENIED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 5/20/2019. (kpf)
February 15, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 190 DECISION AND ORDER - Hasan's fourth ground for relief, in which he argues the grand jury that indicted him included some members who were biased against him is both not cognizable in habeas corpus and meritless. As a result, the relief he reques ts with regard to that ground is DENIED. Hasan's eighth, ninth and tenth grounds for relief remain procedurally defaulted as this Court found them to be in the Report and Recommendations. He has not presented the quality of evidence required by Schlup to demonstrate his actual innocence and excuse the default, and as it has not been determined that Martinez/Trevino applies in Ohio, his requests for expansion of the record, an evidentiary hearing on Schlup and Martinez/Trevino issues, or a s tay of his habeas case to permit a return to the state court are DENIED. Finally, Hasan's proposed thirty-sixth ground for relief does not implicate the federal constitution and is therefore not cognizable in habeas corpus. Consequently, Hasan&# 039;s requests to expand the record, amend his petition, for exploratory discovery, for discovery and/or an evidentiary hearing on post-conviction counsels ineffectiveness, for a determination of any state corrective process still available to pursue his claim in state court, or for a stay of these proceedings to allow a return to the state court are all DENIED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz on 2/15/2018. (kpf)
January 14, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 155 ORDER TO FILE DIGITIZED RECORD - It is hereby ORDERED that the state court record previously filed herein in paper format be refiled electronically as now required by S.

June 6, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 130 ORDER FOR PRE-JUDGMENT BRIEFING ON CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY - It has been this Court's practice in the past to postpone consideration of certificate of appealability issues until after District Judge action on the report and recommendations on the merits. However, Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing § 2254 cases was amended effective December 1, 2009 and the Court reads this new language to require that any report and recommendation on a certificate of appealability be available for the district judges consideration along with the report and recommendations on the merits. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that Petitioner file, not later than July 15, 2011, a motion for certificate of appealability on those grounds for relief as to which the Magistrate Judge has recommended denial and which the Petitioner intends to appeal if the District Judge adopts the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 6/3/2011. (kpf1)
November 16, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 118 ORDER - This capital habeas corpus case is before the Court on Respondent's Motion for a Status Conference inquiring what additional "input, if any, the Court may require from the parties prior to issuance of any rulings or orders that coul d bring the case to a conclusion in this Court." (Doc. No. 117, PageID 1638). As the parties are aware, the General Order of Reference for the Dayton location of court permits a magistrate judge to reconsider decisions or reports and recommendat ions when objections are filed. The case is now pending before the Magistrate Judge for a supplemental report and recommendations in light of the pending Objections. Drafting of that report has commenced and will be completed before December 15, 2010 . No additional input from the parties is required for completion of this stage of the proceedings. The Magistrate Judge apologizes to the parties for the delay in completing this report. The Motion for Status Conference is denied without prejudice to its renewal if this entry does not adequately deal with Respondent's concerns. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 11/16/2010.
