15
This action is a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, filed
16
by a Nevada state prisoner. On March 28, 2014, this Court granted petitioner’s motion for counsel
17
and appointed the Federal Public Defender to represent petitioner in this action. (Doc. 31). On
18
April 28, 2014, Jonathan Kirshbaum of the Federal Public Defender’s Office appeared on behalf of
19
petitioner. (Doc. 32). The Court now sets a schedule for further proceedings in this action.
20
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that counsel for petitioner shall meet with petitioner as
21
soon as reasonably possible, if counsel has not already done so, to: (a) review the procedures
22
applicable in cases under 28 U.S.C. § 2254; (b) discuss and explore with petitioner, as fully as
23
possible, the potential grounds for habeas corpus relief in petitioner’s case; and (c) advise petitioner
24
that all possible grounds for habeas corpus relief must be raised at this time in this action and that
25
the failure to do so will likely result in any omitted grounds being barred from future review.
