IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHABONDY LAMAR SIMPSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-640 JAM DAD P

vs.

M. EVANS, Warden, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in the District Court with an

application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This matter is currently on

appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Petitioner is represented by counsel on appeal. On

August 2, 2010, the undersigned issued findings and recommendations which recommended that

petitioner’s motion to amend the instant petition to add an additional claim be denied. On that

same date, petitioner’s appointed appellate counsel filed a letter with the court requesting

guidance as to how to proceed. Under the circumstances, the court has determined that

appointment of counsel on behalf of petitioner in order to file objections, if any, to the August 2,

2010 findings and recommendations is appropriate. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also

Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983).
