1:05-CV-0230 LJO HC

ORDER GRANTING APPOINTMENT OF

COUNSEL ON APPEAL

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254 on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

On June 16, 2006, the undersigned received and signed a Form CJA-20 to appoint Katherine

Hart, Esq., as Petitioner’s attorney on appeal. On June 30, 2006, the order was vacated because the

undersigned believed the form motion was submitted to this Court in error as the form did not show

the Ninth Circuit authorized the appointment of counsel. Since then, the undersigned has become

aware that the form was submitted according to Ninth Circuit authority; however, the electronically

filed copy did not have authorization from the Ninth Circuit attached. The Court has been in contact

with the Ninth Circuit and the office of Katherine Hart and has been notified that the Ninth Circuit

did indeed authorize the appointment of counsel.
