ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL FOR PETITIONER
AND DIRECTING CLERK TO MAIL ORDER
At the request of Petitioner David Ivy (see ECF No. 190), the Court has removed
Petitioner’s attorneys from the Capital Habeas Unit for the Federal Public Defender’s Office in
the Middle District of Tennessee, and the Court has granted the appointment of new counsel.
(ECF No. 196.) After consideration of the available qualified capital habeas counsel, the Court
APPOINTS the Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee1 as counsel of record for
Petitioner.
The Clerk is respectfully DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to the Federal
Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee, 800 S. Gay Street, Suite 2400, Knoxville, TN 37929-
9714.
1 Appointments should be made in the name of the organization (i.e., the federal public defender

organization. See Guide to Judiciary Policy, Volume 7 Defender Services, Part A, § 440
