_________________________________________ :
Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Presently pending before the Court is petitioner’s application to
allow attorney Charles Landesman be present and represent petitioner at his upcoming parole
hearing on August 28, 2015. (See Dkt. No. 29.) Petitioner’s motion will be denied as this Court is
not the proper court to raise such a motion. See N.J. COURT R. § 2:2-3(a) (noting that except in
limited circumstances, appeals may be taken to the Appellate Division as a matter of right).
Accordingly, IT IS this 26th day of August, 2015,
ORDERED that petitioner’s application to allow attorney Charles Landesman to be
present and represent petitioner at his upcoming parole hearing (Dkt. No. 29.) is denied.
