ORDER APPOINTING INDEPENDENT

COUNSEL

The Court has determined it is in the best interests of the parties to appoint independent

counsel to confer with Petitioner Richard J. Vieira. Based on the recommendation of the Selection

Board for the Eastern District of California, the Court appoints John T. Philipsborn for this purpose. 

Mr. Philipsborn shall be added to the docket in this matter as follows:

John T. Philipsborn

A separate order filed under seal outlines the tasks the Court envisions Mr. Philipsborn will

undertake. This appointment will not interfere with the ongoing litigation in the matter unless the

parties are notified to the contrary by the Court. When there is a change in status of Mr.

Philipsborn’s appointment, the Court will file a public order conveying this information.

IT IS SO ORDERED
