Case No. 3-7-cv-4727-MHP

ORDER REGARDING REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL AND STAY OF EXECUTION

(DPSAGOK)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

Darren Cornelius STANLEY,

 Petitioner,

 v.

Robert L. AYERS Jr., Warden of San Quentin

State Prison,

 Respondent.

Case Number 3-7-cv-4727-MHP

Case Number 3-7-cv-5608-MHP

DEATH-PENALTY CASE

ORDER REGARDING REQUEST

FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

AND STAY OF EXECUTION

[Docket No. 1]

Petitioner Darren Cornelius Stanley, having been sentenced to death by the Superior

Court of California in and for the County of Alameda, has filed a request for appointment of

counsel and for a stay of execution of his death sentence as well as a request to proceed in forma

pauperis.

Due to a clerical error, Petitioner’s most recent filing was entered as a separate action,

No. 3-7-cv-5608-MHP, rather than docketed under the correct case number, No. 3-7-cv-4727-

MHP. Accordingly, and good cause therefor appearing, the clerk shall close the file in No. 3-7-

cv-5608-MHP as a duplicative filing and shall docket Petitioner’s incorrectly filed document

under the correct case number, No. 3-7-cv-4727-MHP. All filings in these proceedings shall

bear the correct case number, No. 3-7-cv-4727-MHP.

Good cause appearing therefor, Petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis is

Case No. 3-7-cv-4727-MHP

ORDER REGARDING REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL AND STAY OF EXECUTION

(DPSAGOK)

granted. Pursuant to Habeas Local Rule 2254-25, the request for appointment of counsel is

granted. This action is referred to the Court’s Selection Board for the recommendation of

qualified counsel to represent Petitioner in these proceedings.

Pursuant to Habeas Local Rule 2254-24(a), Petitioner is entitled to a stay of execution

pending the final disposition of the proceedings in this Court. It appears from Petitioner’s

declaration in filed in support of his request that the Supreme Court of California has entered a

stay of execution of Petitioner’s death sentence that remains in effect. This federal Court

therefore will defer resolution of Petitioner’s request for a stay of execution pending the

disposition of the stay entered by the State court. Should the stay entered by the Supreme Court

of California be dissolved, this Court automatically shall grant Petitioner’s request for a stay and

automatically shall enter a stay of the execution of Petitioner’s death sentence pending the final

disposition of the proceedings in this Court. In the event that the stay entered by the Supreme

Court of California is not dissolved prior to the final disposition of the proceedings in this Court,

Petitioner’s request for a stay of execution in this Court automatically shall be denied as moot

upon the entrance of the judgment of this Court.

The Clerk immediately shall notify by telephone Respondent Robert L. Ayers Jr.,

Warden of San Quentin State Prison, of this order. The Clerk also shall serve certified copies of

this order upon Petitioner; Respondent; the clerk of the Superior Court of California in and for

the County of Alameda; Michael G. Millman, Esq., Executive Director of the California

Appellate Project; Richard L. Rubin, Esq.; Juliet B. Haley, Esq., Deputy Attorney General of the

State of California; and James Anderson, Esq., Office of the District Attorney of the County of

Alameda.

 It is so ordered.
