No. 2:14-cv-2741-MCE-EFB P
v.
ORDER
UNITED STATES PAROLE
COMMISSION,
Respondent.

Petitioner is a federal prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of mandate pursuant to 28
18
19
U.S.C. § 1651. He has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required
20
filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity
21
to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or
22
submit the appropriate filing fee.
Petitioner has requested that the court appoint counsel. There currently exists no absolute
23
24
right to appointment of counsel in mandamus proceedings. The court may, however, appoint
25
counsel at any stage of the proceedings “if the interests of justice so require.” See 18 U.S.C.
26
§ 3006A. The court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the
27
appointment of counsel at this stage of the proceedings.
