v.

No. 2:18-cv-0077 MCE KJN P

ORDER

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA,
Respondent.

16

18

Petitioner is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se. On March 30, 2021, former counsel for

19

petitioner, Jason Thomas Campbell, filed a “Notice of Appearance.” (ECF No. 54.)

20

Subsequently, former counsel filed a motion for extension of time to file objections.

21

Mr. Campbell is informed that under Local Rule 182(g), substitution of counsel is

22

accomplished by seeking court approval for the substitution, not by filing a notice of appearance.

23

Because petitioner is proceeding pro se, he must agree to the substitution in writing before the

24

court can address the proposed substitution.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Petitioner is granted twenty-one days in which to file a proposed substitution of

27
28

attorney; and

1

2. In addition to petitioner, the Clerk of the Court shall send a copy of this order to

2

petitioner’s former counsel, Jason Thomas Campbell.
