IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANNY SAUL ROSALES,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0168 DFL DAD P

vs.

THOMAS L. CAREY, Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has paid the filing fee.

Petitioner, by and through the Office of the Federal Defender, has also filed an

application for appointment of counsel and a supplemental application to appoint counsel. In

light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, 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).

Since petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s

application.
