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. ///// ///// ///// ///// ///// ///// ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA DONALD JOSEPH BERRY, Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-0305 WBS JFM (HC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 /md014;berr0305.110 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner's August 4, 2010 request for appointment of counsel is denied without prejudice to a renewal of the motion at a later stage of the proceedings.
