This matter is currently on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Petitioner is represented by counsel on appeal. On August 2, 2010, the undersigned issued findings and recommendations which recommended that petitioner's motion to amend the instant petition to add an additional claim be denied. On that same date, petitioner's appointed appellate counsel filed a letter with the court requesting guidance as to how to proceed. Under the circumstances, the court has determined that appointment of counsel on behalf of petitioner in order to file objections, if any, to the August 2, 2010 findings and recommendations is appropriate.
