LY v. CLARK

United States District Court, E.D. California
Feb 23, 2011
No. 2:10-cv-1236 FCD JFM (HC) (E.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 2011)

Opinion

No. 2:10-cv-1236 FCD JFM (HC).

February 23, 2011


ORDER


Petitioner has requested the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage of the case "if the interests of justice so require." See Rule 8(c), Fed.R. Governing § 2254 Cases. In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the appointment of counsel at the present time.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner's November 2, 2010 request for appointment of counsel is denied.

DATED: February 22, 2011.
