IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW A. CEJAS, 

Petitioner, No. CIV-05-1121 MCE KJM P 

vs.

LOU BLANAS, ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable

to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

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).
