to the court under the previous
sentence, contrary to constitutional
right, power, privilege, or immunity,
or not in accord with the procedures
required by law.

designation period), the Secretary of
State, in consultation with the
Attorney General, may redesignate the
organization in conformity with the
requirements of this clause for
designation of the organization.

designation.--The Secretary of State,
in consultation with the Attorney
General, may remove the terrorist
organization designation from any

long as the Secretary publishes notice
of the removal in the Federal Register.

receive compensation with respect to a loss from insurance or
any other source.

victim, the court shall specify in the restitution order the manner in
which and the schedule according to which the restitution is to be
paid, in consideration of--

offender;
``(B) projected earnings and other income of the offender;
and
``(C) any financial obligations of the offender, including
obligations to dependents.
``(3) A restitution order may direct the offender to make a single,
lump-sum payment, partial payment at specified intervals, or such in-
kind payments as may be agreeable to the victim and the offender. A
restitution order shall direct the offender to give appropriate notice
to victims and other persons in cases where there are multiple victims
or other persons who may receive restitution, and where the identity of
such victims and other persons can be reasonably determined.

form of--

liable for payment of the full amount of restitution or may apportion
liability among the offenders to reflect the level of contribution and
economic circumstances of each offender.
``(f) When the court finds that more than 1 victim has sustained a
loss requiring restitution by an offender, the court shall order full
restitution to each victim but may provide for different payment
schedules to reflect the economic circumstances of each victim.

compensation with respect to a loss from insurance or any other source,
the court shall order that restitution be paid to the person who
provided or is obligated to provide the compensation, but the

required by the order be paid to the victims before any restitution is
paid to such a provider of compensation.
``(2) The issuance of a restitution order shall not affect the
entitlement of a victim to receive compensation with respect to a loss
from insurance or any other source until the payments actually received
by the victim under the restitution order fully compensate the victim
for the loss, at which time a person that has provided compensation to
the victim shall be entitled to receive any payments remaining to be
paid under the restitution order.
``(3) Any amount paid to a victim under an order of restitution
shall be set off against any amount later recovered as compensatory
damages by the victim in--
``(A) any Federal civil proceeding; and
``(B) any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by
the law of the State.
``(h) A restitution order shall provide that--
``(1) all fines, penalties, costs, restitution payments and
other forms of transfers of money or property made pursuant to

offender's obligations and the current status in
meeting those obligations, unless, after efforts have

appears that compliance cannot be obtained, the court
determines that continued recordkeeping under this
subparagraph would not be useful; and
``(B) notify the court and the interested parties
when an offender is 30 days in arrears in meeting those
obligations; and
``(3) the offender shall advise the entity designated by
the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States
Courts of any change in the offender's address during the term
of the restitution order.

property of the offender and may be recorded in any Federal or State
office for the recording of liens against real or personal property.
``(j) Compliance with the schedule of payment and other terms of a
restitution order shall be a condition of any probation, parole, or
other form of release of an offender. If a defendant fails to comply
with a restitution order, the court may revoke probation or a term of
supervised release, modify the term or conditions of probation or a
term of supervised release, hold the defendant in contempt of court,
enter a restraining order or injunction, order the sale of property of
the defendant, accept a performance bond, or take any other action
necessary to obtain compliance with the restitution order. In
determining what action to take, the court shall consider the
defendant's employment status, earning ability, financial resources,
the willfulness in failing to comply with the restitution order, and
any other circumstances that may have a bearing on the defendant's
ability to comply with the restitution order.

``(1) by the United States--
``(A) in the manner provided for the collection and
payment of fines in subchapter B of chapter 229 of this
title; or
``(B) in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
action; and
``(2) by a victim named in the order to receive the
restitution, in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
action.

to modify a restitution order as appropriate in view of a change in the
economic circumstances of the offender.''.

the defendant's dependents, and such other factors as the court deems
appropriate. The probation service of the court shall include the
information collected in the report of presentence investigation or in
a separate report, as the court directs.''; and
(4) by adding at the end thereof the following new

of a second or successive application under section 2244(b).
``Sec. 2263. Filing of habeas corpus application; time requirements;
tolling rules
``(a) Any application under this chapter for habeas corpus relief
under section 2254 must be filed in the appropriate district court not
later than 180 days after final State court affirmance of the
conviction and sentence on direct review or the expiration of the time
for seeking such review.
``(b) The time requirements established by subsection (a) shall be
tolled--
``(1) from the date that a petition for certiorari is filed
in the Supreme Court until the date of final disposition of the
petition if a State prisoner files the petition to secure
review by the Supreme Court of the affirmance of a capital
sentence on direct review by the court of last resort of the
State or other final State court decision on direct review;
``(2) from the date on which the first petition for post-
conviction review or other collateral relief is filed until the
final State court disposition of such petition; and
``(3) during an additional period not to exceed 30 days,
if--
``(A) a motion for an extension of time is filed in
the Federal district court that would have jurisdiction
over the case upon the filing of a habeas corpus
application under section 2254; and
``(B) a showing of good cause is made for the
failure to file the habeas corpus application within
the time period established by this section.
``Sec. 2264. Scope of Federal review; district court adjudications
``(a) Whenever a State prisoner under capital sentence files a
petition for habeas corpus relief to which this chapter applies, the
district court shall only consider a claim or claims that have been
raised and decided on the merits in the State courts, unless the
failure to raise the claim properly is--
``(1) the result of State action in violation of the
Constitution or laws of the United States;
``(2) the result of the Supreme Court recognition of a new
Federal right that is made retroactively applicable; or
``(3) based on a factual predicate that could not have been
discovered through the exercise of due diligence in time to
present the claim for State or Federal post-conviction review.
``(b) Following review subject to subsections (a), (d), and (e) of
section 2254, the court shall rule on the claims properly before it.
``Sec. 2265. Application to State unitary review procedure
``(a) For purposes of this section, a `unitary review' procedure
means a State procedure that authorizes a person under sentence of
death to raise, in the course of direct review of the judgment, such
claims as could be raised on collateral attack. This chapter shall
apply, as provided in this section, in relation to a State unitary
review procedure if the State establishes by rule of its court of last
resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, compensation, and
payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent counsel in the
unitary review proceedings, including expenses relating to the
litigation of collateral claims in the proceedings. The rule of court
or statute must provide standards of competency for the appointment of
such counsel.
``(b) To qualify under this section, a unitary review procedure
must include an offer of counsel following trial for the purpose of
representation on unitary review, and entry of an order, as provided in
section 2261(c), concerning appointment of counsel or waiver or denial
of appointment of counsel for that purpose. No counsel appointed to
represent the prisoner in the unitary review proceedings shall have
previously represented the prisoner at trial in the case for which the
appointment is made unless the prisoner and counsel expressly request
continued representation.
``(c) Sections 2262, 2263, 2264, and 2266 shall apply in relation
to cases involving a sentence of death from any State having a unitary
review procedure that qualifies under this section. References to State
`post-conviction review' and `direct review' in such sections shall be
understood as referring to unitary review under the State procedure.
The reference in section 2262(a) to `an order under section 2261(c)'
shall be understood as referring to the post-trial order under
subsection (b) concerning representation in the unitary review
proceedings, but if a transcript of the trial proceedings is
unavailable at the time of the filing of such an order in the
appropriate State court, then the start of the 180-day limitation
period under section 2263 shall be deferred until a transcript is made
available to the prisoner or counsel of the prisoner.
``Sec. 2266. Limitation periods for determining applications and
motions
``(a) The adjudication of any application under section 2254 that
is subject to this chapter, and the adjudication of any motion under
section 2255 by a person under sentence of death, shall be given
priority by the district court and by the court of appeals over all
noncapital matters.
``(b)(1)(A) A district court shall render a final determination and
enter a final judgment on any application for a writ of habeas corpus
brought under this chapter in a capital case not later than 180 days
after the date on which the application is filed.
``(B) A district court shall afford the parties at least 120 days
in which to complete all actions, including the preparation of all
pleadings and briefs, and if necessary, a hearing, prior to the
submission of the case for decision.
``(C)(i) A district court may delay for not more than one
additional 30-day period beyond the period specified in subparagraph
(A), the rendering of a determination of an application for a writ of
habeas corpus if the court issues a written order making a finding, and
stating the reasons for the finding, that the ends of justice that
would be served by allowing the delay outweigh the best interests of
the public and the applicant in a speedy disposition of the
application.
``(ii) The factors, among others, that a court shall consider in
determining whether a delay in the disposition of an application is
warranted are as follows:
``(I) Whether the failure to allow the delay would be
likely to result in a miscarriage of justice.
``(II) Whether the case is so unusual or so complex, due to
the number of defendants, the nature of the prosecution, or the
existence of novel questions of fact or law, that it is
unreasonable to expect adequate briefing within the time
limitations established by subparagraph (A).
``(III) Whether the failure to allow a delay in a case,
that, taken as a whole, is not so unusual or so complex as
described in subclause (II), but would otherwise deny the
applicant reasonable time to obtain counsel, would unreasonably
deny the applicant or the government continuity of counsel, or
would deny counsel for the applicant or the government the
reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking
into account the exercise of due diligence.
``(iii) No delay in disposition shall be permissible because of
general congestion of the court's calendar.
``(iv) The court shall transmit a copy of any order issued under
clause (i) to the Director of the Administrative Office of the United
States Courts for inclusion in the report under paragraph (5).
``(2) The time limitations under paragraph (1) shall apply to--
``(A) an initial application for a writ of habeas corpus;
``(B) any second or successive application for a writ of
habeas corpus; and
``(C) any redetermination of an application for a writ of
habeas corpus following a remand by the court of appeals or the
Supreme Court for further proceedings, in which case the
limitation period shall run from the date the remand is
ordered.
``(3)(A) The time limitations under this section shall not be
construed to entitle an applicant to a stay of execution, to which the
applicant would otherwise not be entitled, for the purpose of
litigating any application or appeal.
``(B) No amendment to an application for a writ of habeas corpus
under this chapter shall be permitted after the filing of the answer to
the application, except on the grounds specified in section 2244(b).
``(4)(A) The failure of a court to meet or comply with a time
limitation under this section shall not be a ground for granting relief
from a judgment of conviction or sentence.
``(B) The State may enforce a time limitation under this section by
petitioning for a writ of mandamus to the court of appeals. The court
of appeals shall act on the petition for a writ or mandamus not later
than 30 days after the filing of the petition.
``(5)(A) The Administrative Office of United States Courts shall
submit to Congress an annual report on the compliance by the district
courts with the time limitations under this section.
``(B) The report described in subparagraph (A) shall include copies
of the orders submitted by the district courts under paragraph
(1)(B)(iv).
``(c)(1)(A) A court of appeals shall hear and render a final
determination of any appeal of an order granting or denying, in whole
or in part, an application brought under this chapter in a capital case
not later than 120 days after the date on which the reply brief is
filed, or if no reply brief is filed, not later than 120 days after the
date on which the answering brief is filed.
``(B)(i) A court of appeals shall decide whether to grant a
petition for rehearing or other request for rehearing en banc not later
than 30 days after the date on which the petition for rehearing is
filed unless a responsive pleading is required, in which case the court
shall decide whether to grant the petition not later than 30 days after
the date on which the responsive pleading is filed.
``(ii) If a petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc is granted,
the court of appeals shall hear and render a final determination of the
appeal not later than 120 days after the date on which the order
granting rehearing or rehearing en banc is entered.
``(2) The time limitations under paragraph (1) shall apply to--
``(A) an initial application for a writ of habeas corpus;
``(B) any second or successive application for a writ of
habeas corpus; and
``(C) any redetermination of an application for a writ of
habeas corpus or related appeal following a remand by the court
of appeals en banc or the Supreme Court for further
proceedings, in which case the limitation period shall run from
the date the remand is ordered.
``(3) The time limitations under this section shall not be
construed to entitle an applicant to a stay of execution, to which the
applicant would otherwise not be entitled, for the purpose of
litigating any application or appeal.
``(4)(A) The failure of a court to meet or comply with a time
limitation under this section shall not be a ground for granting relief
from a judgment of conviction or sentence.
``(B) The State may enforce a time limitation under this section by
applying for a writ of mandamus to the Supreme Court.
``(5) The Administrative Office of United States Courts shall
submit to Congress an annual report on the compliance by the courts of
appeals with the time limitations under this section.''.

services on behalf of the defendant and, if so authorized, shall order
the payment of fees and expenses therefor under paragraph (10). No ex
parte proceeding, communication, or request may be considered pursuant
to this section unless a proper showing is made concerning the need for
confidentiality. Any such proceeding, communication, or request shall
be transcribed and made a part of the record available for appellate
review.''.
