Petitioner,
v.
ORDER
BAUGHMAN,
Respondent.
15
16
Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to
17
28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has requested that the court appoint counsel. There currently exists no
18
absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d
19
453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). The court may appoint counsel at any stage of the proceedings “if the
20
interests of justice so require.” See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A; see also, Rule 8(c), Rules Governing
21
§ 2254 Cases. The court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the
22
appointment of counsel at this stage of the proceedings.
23
Accordingly, it hereby is ORDERED that petitioner’s request for appointment of counsel
24
(ECF No. 20) is denied without prejudice. Petitioner is, however, granted an extension of time
25
within which to file his objections to the July 3, 2018 findings and recommendations. Petitioner’s
26
objections, if any, shall be filed within thirty (30) days.
