Respondents.
Petitioner Ivan Dominguez filed a proper-person motion to substitute counsel, or in the

9 alternative compel counsel to communicate with Dominguez. ECF No. 97. He also filed a
10 proper-person motion to appoint new counsel. ECF No. 101. At this point, the amended petition
11 (ECF No. 31) is fully briefed and awaiting decision. Appointment of new counsel would not
12 serve the interests of justice.

I THEREFORE ORDER that Dominguez’s proper-person motion to substitute counsel,

14 or in the alternative compel counsel to communicate with petitioner (ECF No. 97) is DENIED.

I FURTHER ORDER that Dominguez’s proper-person motion to appoint new counsel
