DIMAS CLEMENTE CHAVEZ,

Petitioner,

v.

1:02-cv-05320 OWW DLB (HC)

ORDER FOLLOWING REMAND FROM THE

NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS;

APPOINTING COUNSEL FROM APPEAL,

GARY L. HUSS, , AND DIRECTING CLERK

OF COURT TO SERVE COPY OF ORDER ON

MR. HUSS; AND SETTING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

[Doc. 39]

On June 4, 2004, the undersigned issued a Findings and Recommendation denying the

instant petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Court Doc. 25.)

On September 29, 2004, the Findings and Recommendation was adopted in full, judgment was

entered in favor of Respondent, and the Court denied to issue a certificate of appealability. 

(Court Docs. 27, 28, 29.) 

Petitioner filed a notice of appeal on October 7, 2004. (Court Doc. 30.) On December

27, 2004, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the request for a certificate of appealability

with respect to the following issues: “(1) whether the trial court applied the correct standard for

bias under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986); and (2) whether the prosecutor’s peremptory

challenges of four Hispanic jurors violated Batson. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3).” (Court Doc.

34.) After taking the matter under submission without oral argument, the Ninth Circuit reversed

and remanded the action in a unwritten opinion on July 25, 2006. (See Court Doc. 39.)
