ORDER 14 | WARDEN, CALIFORNIA MEDICAL FACILITY, 15 Respondent. 16 17 Petitioner has requested the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute 18 || right to appointment of counsel in habeas proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner,

, 460 19 | (9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage 20 | of the case “if the interests of justice so require.” See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. 21 | In the present case, the court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the 22 || appointment of counsel at the present time. 23 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s February 7, 2025, request for 24 || appointment of counsel is DENIED. 25 || Dated: 02/14/25 Pod) oP aed a ANI fle A - * 26 CAROLYN K.DELANEY 27 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 1/curr0956.110 28
