BRIAN WILLIAMS, SR., et al.,

Respondents.
_______________________________/

16

In this habeas corpus action, brought by Nevada prisoner Debaron Sanders, the court, on

17

January 25, 2016, granted Sanders’ motion for appointment of counsel and ordered counsel

18

appointed on his behalf. See Order entered January 25, 2016 (ECF No. 21).

19

In the January 25, 2016, order, the court appointed the Federal Public Defender for the

20

District of Nevada (FPD) to represent Sanders. See id. However, on January 28, 2016, the FPD filed

21

a notice stating that, because the appointment would create a conflict of interest, the FPD cannot

22

represent Sanders. See Notice of Conflict (ECF No. 22).

23

Therefore, the court will appoint Gia A. McGillivray to represent Sanders in this case. If

24

McGillivray is unable to represent Sanders, due to a conflict of interest or other reason, then alternate

25

counsel will be located and appointed. In either case, counsel will represent petitioner in all federal-

26

court proceedings relating to this matter, unless allowed to withdraw.
