Respondent.

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an

application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 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).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Federal Defender is appointed to represent petitioner.

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of petitioner’s habeas corpus

application and a copy of this order on David M. Porter, Assistant Federal Defender.

3. Petitioner’s counsel shall contact the Clerk’s Office to make arrangements for 

copies of other documents in the file.
