Under Local Rule 34(b), the court uses an informal briefing schedule in cases involving pro se litigants to permit the court to consider the merits without requiring the pro se litigant to comply with formal briefing requirements. The court also uses an informal preliminary briefing schedule prior to the grant of a full or partial certificate of appealability in counseled, non-capital appeals from the denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 or 2255.
