16

granted petitioner’s motion for counsel and appointed the Federal Public Defender to

17

represent petitioner in this action (ECF No. 12). On December 1, 2017, C.B. Kirschner

of the Federal Public Defender’s Office appeared on behalf of petitioner (ECF No. 14).

The court now sets a schedule for further proceedings in this action.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that counsel for petitioner shall meet with

21

petitioner as soon as reasonably possible, if counsel has not already done so, to: (a)

22

review the procedures applicable in cases under 28 U.S.C. § 2254; (b) discuss and

23

explore with petitioner, as fully as possible, the potential grounds for habeas corpus

24

relief in petitioner’s case; and (c) advise petitioner that all possible grounds for habeas

25

corpus relief must be raised at this time in this action and that the failure to do so will

likely result in any omitted grounds being barred from future review.
