O R D E R
Judge

Sharp

has

referred

this

case

to

me

for

an

evidentiary hearing and a recommendation as to whether the motion
to dismiss should be granted or not (Docket Entry 11).
Inasmuch as Judge Sharp has directed an evidentiary
hearing in this matter, and the Petitioner has qualified to proceed
in forma pauperis (Docket Entry 3), counsel is required under Rule
8(c) governing habeas corpus cases. Accordingly, the Federal Public
Defender’s Office is appointed to represent the Petitioner. The
clerk will send the Public Defender a copy of this order.
The telephone conference previously scheduled for August
12, 2014, (Docket Entry 13) is CANCELED and will be rescheduled
once counsel for the Petitioner has filed a notice of appearance
and has

had

time

to

review

the

file

and

be

prepared

for

a

meaningful conference.
It is so ORDERED.
