Respondent. COPY OF THIS ORDER ON THE

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On October 30, 2006, petitioner filed a motion for appointment of counsel on

appeal. (Doc. 38). Due to the fact that the amended petition was dismissed by the District Court

on October 4, 2006, and petitioner filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth

Circuit on October 23, 2006, the motion for counsel is more properly brought before the Court of

Appeals. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel on appeal (Doc. 38), is

DISREGARDED by the District Court; and

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the Court of

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
