IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Julius Jones

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-0950 LKK CMK P

vs.

Dave Runnells, Warden, et al., 

Respondents.

 / ORDER

On October 6, 2005, this court ordered petitioner to, within two weeks, either file

an amended petition or to file a statement that he will stand on his existing petition. Petitioner

has responded to the court’s order. 

In his response, petitioner’s counsel, Victor Holtom, states that he will no longer

be able to represent Mr. Jones due to other professional and personal involvements. He requests

that the court allow him to make arrangements to secure the appointment of replacement counsel

for Mr. Jones through the Federal Public Defender’s Office. The court will grant Mr. Holtom’s

request. Any substitution of attorneys must comply with Local Rule 83-182.
