UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On November 21 2012, the Court authorized the filing of a request by Petitioner Richard John 

Vieira (“Vieira”) to “identify” federal counsel (doc. 131) in light of the separation of former Assistant 

Federal Defender Timothy Foley from the Federal Defender’s Office. On December 6, 2012, the 

Office of the Federal Defender, over the signature of Assistant Federal Defender Joseph Schlesinger,

filed a response stating that Federal Defender remains Vieira’s counsel along with CJA attorney 

Wesley A. Van Winkle (doc. 132). On July 23, 2013, Assistant Federal Defender Lissa Garnder filed 

a notice advising the Court that she, along with Mr. Van Winkle, would continue handling Vieira’s 

petition for habeas corpus relief (doc. 134). The matter is resolved; Vieira is fully represented.

Dated: September 27, 2013
