MICHELLE TAYLOR,

Case No. 3:13-cv-00035-MMD-VPC
Petitioner,
ORDER
v.
10
CAROLYN MYLES,
11
Respondents.
12
13
On March 21, 2017, this Court denied Michelle Taylor’s counseled petition for writ
14
of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (ECF No. 49), and judgment was entered
15
(ECF No. 50). Taylor filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (ECF
16
No. 51). Counsel for petitioner filed motions in this Court and the appeals court to
17
withdraw as counsel, and Taylor apparently filed pro se motions in both courts as well
18
(see ECF Nos. 53, 55, 56, 60). The Ninth Circuit has now granted a motion to substitute
19
counsel, and the Federal Public Defender has been appointed to represent Taylor on
20
appeal.
21
22
It is therefore ordered that the motions to withdraw as counsel by Richard Cornell
(ECF No. 53) and Donald Bergerson (ECF No. 56) are granted.
23
It is further ordered that petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma
24
pauperis (ECF No. 55) and motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 60) are denied
25
as moot.
26
DATED THIS 8th day of February 2018.
