IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHILIP J. SYZEMORE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0775 MCE PAN P

vs.

BOARD OF PRISON TERMS, et al., ORDER

Respondents.

 /

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. On July 27, 2005, petitioner

filed a motion for appointment of 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).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This court’s February 21, 2006 order denying petitioner’s motion for

appointment of counsel is vacated.

2. Petitioner’s July 27, 2005 motion for appointment of counsel is granted.

3. The Federal Defender is appointed to represent petitioner.
