IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ARNALDO RODRIGUES,

Petitioner,

 v.

VINCE CULLEN, Acting Warden of the 

California State Prison at San

Quentin,

Respondent. /

No. 96-1831 CW

ORDER APPOINTING

JOHN R GRELE AS

COUNSEL

In the parties’ joint statement, the Habeas Corpus Resource

Center, counsel for Petitioner Jose Arnaldo Rodrigues, stated that

it intends to withdraw as appointed counsel. Petitioner’s other

counsel, John R Grele, states that he is prepared to continue his

appointed representation of Petitioner. 

Because Petitioner is financially unable to obtain adequate

representation and the interests of justice so require, the Court

appoints Mr. Grele under the Criminal Justice Act to represent

Petitioner on the above-entitled federal habeas petition. Mr.

Grele should seek reimbursement pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(d)

and (e) via the Federal Public Defender’s Office.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 12, 2010
