IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant Jordan's motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 256) is GRANTED. Telia Williams, Esq. is appointed as counsel for Mr. Jordan in place of Kathleen Bliss for all future habeas proceedings.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Bliss' office shall forward her file to Ms. Williams immediately
FootNotes
1. It appears the Ninth Circuit has foreclosed any relief under Johnson because it "conclude[ed] that Jordan's bank robbery convictions qualify as crimes of violence under the `elements clause' of [18 U.S.C.] § 924(c)(3). . . ." ECF No. 247, n.1 (United States v. Jordan, Case No. 15-10156 (9th Cir. 3/14/17)). However, I am not prejudging that issue and Jordan's counsel is free to pursue it if counsel believes an argument can be made.
