No. 2:14-cv-1720 KJN P
Petitioner,
v.
ORDER
RON DAVIS,
15
Respondent.

17
Petitioner has requested the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute
18
right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460
19
(9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage
20
of the case “if the interests of justice so require.” See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases.
21
In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the
22
appointment of counsel at the present time.
23
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s July 21, 2014 request for
24
appointment of counsel (ECF No. 3) is denied without prejudice.

Dated: August 13, 2014
