IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HECTOR SANCHEZ LEYVA,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0031 FCD GGH P

vs.

ROBERT AYERS,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is proceeding with appointed counsel on an application pursuant to 28

U.S.C. §2254. Petitioner pro se is apparently “dissatisfied” with his counsel. See letters filed on

8/9/05 and on 10/26/05. On December 5, 2005, petitioner’s counsel filed a request for leave to

withdraw as counsel based on “an irreconcilable difference between himself and the client.” See

counsel’s 12/05/05 request.

Prior to counsel’s request, however, on November 3, 2005, respondent filed a

motion to dismiss. The court will not consider petitioner’s counsel request to withdraw before

counsel has filed a response to the motion, which is now overdue. The court will extend the time

for counsel to file a response by 20 days from the date of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: 12/12/05 /s/ Gregory G. Hollows
