This action is a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, by
Curtis Guy, a Nevada prisoner sentenced to death.
In an order entered November 16, 2011, the court granted Guy’s application to proceed

19

in forma pauperis, subject to his supplementing his application with certain further information.

20

See Order entered November 16, 2011 (docket #5). On December 16, 2011, Guy filed the

21

supplemental information as directed (docket #9). The supplemental information filed by Guy

22

confirms that he qualifies for in forma pauperis status; therefore, Guy will retain that status.

23

In the order entered November 16, 2011, the court also granted petitioner’s motion for

24

appointment of counsel, and appointed the Federal Public Defender for the District of Nevada (FPD)

25

as his counsel, subject to notice from the FPD of its ability to represent petitioner. See Order entered

26

November 16, 2011 (docket #5).

1

On December 16, 2011, the FPD filed notice of its acceptance of representation of the

2

petitioner (docket #10). Petitioner is represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender David

3

Anthony (702-388-6577).

4

On November 21, 2011, the Nevada Attorney General’s Office filed a notice of

5

representation of the respondents (docket #7). The respondents are represented by Deputy Attorney

6

General Jared M. Frost (775-684-1272).

7

The court will set a status conference. In advance of the conference, counsel for both

8

petitioner and respondents will be expected to become familiar with the case, if they have not already

9

done so. During this time, counsel for petitioner should, if they have not already done so, meet with

10

the petitioner, confer with the petitioner’s previous counsel, and gather the case files and court

11

records relative to this action. Also, during this time, counsel for petitioner and counsel for

12

respondents should confer regarding the anticipated course of proceedings in the action. At the

13

status conference, counsel for petitioner shall be prepared to advise the court whether the complete

14

state-court record has been obtained, and, if not, what portions are missing, why they are missing,

15

what efforts have been made to obtain them, and how long it will take to obtain them. Counsel for

16

petitioner and counsel for respondents shall be prepared to discuss the schedule for further litigation

17

of this action.

18

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT a telephonic status conference is scheduled for

19

February 2, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. Counsel for petitioner and counsel for respondents shall call

20

702-868-4912, approximately five minutes before the commencement of the conference.

21

Dated this 19th day of December 2011.
