In this capital habeas corpus action, in an order entered on September 15, 2015,

the Court appointed A. Richard Ellis, as separate counsel for Petitioner Kevin James Lisle

issue has been resolved (see ECF No. 317). Therefore, the Court will discharge Ellis from

his representation of Lisle. The Court will consider reappointing Ellis, or appointing

16

different separate counsel for Lisle, if and when the need arises.
