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

17

appointed counsel -- attorney Gia McGillivray -- to represent Sanders (ECF Nos. 21, 23), and set a

18

schedule for Sanders to file a first amended habeas petition or a notice stating that he will not file an

19

amended habeas petition. See Order entered March 28, 2016 (ECF No. 25). Sanders’ amended

20

petition, or notice that he will not file one, is due on July 11, 2016. See Order entered May 11, 2016

21

(ECF No. 28).

On June 14, 2016, McGillivray filed a motion to withdraw (ECF No. 29). In that motion,

23

McGillivray states that she has discovered that she has conflict of interest preventing her from

24

representing Sanders. Therefore, good cause appearing, the court will grant McGillivray’s motion to

25

withdraw, and will discharge her from her representation of Sanders. The court will, in a separate

26

order, appoint new counsel for Sanders.

The court will also suspend the deadline for Sanders to file an amended habeas petition. That

of Record (ECF No. 29) is GRANTED. Gia McGillivray is discharged from her representation of

the petitioner in this case.

for petitioner.
