v.
SUZANNE M. PEERY,
Respondent.

Petitioner has requested the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute
19
right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460
20
(9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage
21
of the case “if the interests of justice so require.” See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases.
22
In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the
23
appointment of counsel at the present time.
24
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for appointment of
25
counsel (ECF No. 2) is denied without prejudice.
