BRIAN WILLIAMS, et al.,

13

Respondents.

14
Petitioner is currently represented in this matter by Gia McGillivray, Esq. Ms.
15
McGillivray replaced counsel Angela Dows, Esq. in October 2017 after Ms. Dows sought
16
to withdraw due to heavy workload. (See ECF Nos. 40 & 43). Now, Ms. McGillivray
17
seeks to withdraw due to her impending relocation and commencement of employment
18
with the Federal Defender Office in another state. (See ECF No. 57). Ms. McGillivray
19
represents, however, that Ms. Dows has agreed to resume representation of petitioner if
20
the court is inclined to reappoint her. (See id.) The court has confirmed with Ms. Dows
21
that she is currently able to take this case.
