IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD L. ALLEY, No. CIV S-05-1921-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. AMENDED ORDER

TOM L. CAREY, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is appointed counsel’s motion to

withdraw (Doc. 22), filed on November 2, 2006. This order amends the court’s November 13,

2006, order granting the motion to withdraw. Specifically, upon further review of the petition,

the court concludes that re-appointment of the Federal Public Defender is not warranted. The

Clerk of the Court will be directed to update the docket to reflect that petitioner is pro se. 

This action proceeds on the petition filed on September 22, 2005. On December

7, 2005, the court determined that service was appropriate. The court will now vacate the

current supplemental briefing schedule and set a deadline for respondents to file an answer to the

petition which complies with Rule 5 of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. In
