IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHNNY ARAFILES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1678 FCD EFB P

vs.

BEN CURRY, et al.,

Respondents. O R D E R

 /

Petitioner is a prisoner seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Having reviewed the petition, the court finds that the interests of justice require petitioner

to have counsel’s representation because the legal issues are complex and petitioner does not

articulate his claims well. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Rule 8, Rules Governing 

§ 2254 Cases; Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 954 (9th Cir. 1983). 

Accordingly, it is ordered that:

1. The Federal Defender is appointed to represent petitioner. Counsel shall obtain from

the Clerk’s office a copy of the file. 

2. A Status Conference at which both parties shall appear through counsel is scheduled

for November 8, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. before the undersigned in Courtroom 25.
