MINUTE ORDER

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s motion to appoint counsel (Dkt. No. 25.)

18

This Court’s May 2020 order denying Mr. Verkler’s motion for default judgment contains the

19

relevant factual background. (Dkt. No. 22.) Mr. Verkler appealed that order (Dkt. No. 23), and

20

the Ninth Circuit refused to grant a certificate of appealability, (Dkt. No. 26). The Ninth Circuit

21

also denied Mr. Verkler’s motion for reconsideration, advising that it would not entertain any

22

further filings from him in that appeal. (Dkt. No. 27.)

23

While that appeal was pending, Mr. Verkler filed the instant motion. (Dkt. No. 25.) The

24

motion repeats many of Mr. Verkler’s previously rejected arguments. (Compare id., with Dkt.

25

No. 8 at 23–26, Dkt. No. 16 at 14–16, and Dkt. No. 21 at 3, 6.) To the extent Mr. Verkler raises

26

new arguments, the Court has reviewed them and determined that they lack merit.
