NO. Civ. S 10-0272-CMK

REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF

COUNSEL; ORDER

Pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, and Rule

8(c), Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, Petitioner, MICHAEL BRODHEIM,

and the Office of the Federal Defender hereby request that the Office of

the Federal Defender be appointed counsel for Mr. Brodheim in that:

1. On November 2, 2006, this Court issued an order in Michael J.

Brodheim v. M. Veal, Civ. S 06-02326 LKK GGH, in which Mr. Brodheim is

challenging the State’s 2003 denial of parole, and it determined that the

interests of justice required the appointment of counsel because of the

complexity of the legal issues involved. Accordingly, the Court

appointed the Office of the Federal Defender to represent Mr. Brodheim in

that action;

2. That action is still pending, having been administratively

stayed on March 16, 2009, pending Hayward v. Marshall, 512 F.3d 536 (9th

Cir. 2008), reh'g en banc granted, No. 06-55392, 527 F.3d 797 (9th Cir.

Filed May 16, 2008).

3. In the above-entitled action, Mr. Brodheim challenges the 2007

decision of the Board of Parole Hearings and Governor denying him parole,

and Mr. Porter represented Mr. Brodheim in his state habeas corpus

proceedings;

4. There is significant overlap in the parties and claims asserted

in the two actions, both of which raise complex legal issues;

5. Respondents have the benefit of counsel. 

Accordingly, on behalf of Mr. Brodheim, the Federal Defender's

Office requests that the Court enter the order lodged herewith appointing

the office to represent Mr. Brodheim in the above-entitled matter.

Dated: February 2, 2010

Respectfully submitted,

DANIEL J. BRODERICK
