No further time will be granted except in unusual circumstances. Absent such a filing

within said time, period, such stay will expire. If a petition for post-conviction relief has been filed within the time allotted, the previous stay granted shall remain in effect until exhaustion of all state post-conviction proceedings, including any appeals.
