ORDER
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel with an appeal from this court's denial of his application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, the court has determined that the interests of justice require continued appointment of counsel before the appellate court. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner's September 21, 2005 motion for appointment of counsel is granted; John Ward, attorney at law, is appointed to represent petitioner on appeal.
