FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC CURTIS, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-1562 GEB DAD P

G. J. GIURBINO, Warden, ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an

application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In light of the complexity of

the legal issues involved, including whether the instant petition is timely filed, the court has

determined that the interests of justice require appointment of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. §

3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Federal Defender is appointed to represent petitioner.

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of petitioner’s habeas corpus

application and a copy of this order on David Porter, Assistant Federal Defender.

3. Petitioner’s counsel shall contact the Clerk’s Office to make arrangements for 

copies of other documents in the file.
