IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT WILLIAM KLURE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-1602 LKK JFM P

vs.

KUMA DEBOO, ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner paid the $5.00 filing fee for this action.

Since petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights is proved, respondent will be directed to file an answer.

 In light of the complexity of the legal issues involved, the court has determined

that the interests of justice may require appointment of counsel. See 18 U.S.C. §

3006A(a)(2)(B); see also Weygandt v. Look, 718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). However, the

court cannot determine from the present record whether petitioner is “financially eligible” for

such appointment. 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B). Accordingly, this matter will be referred to the

Federal Defender for a determination of whether petitioner is financially eligible for appointment

of counsel.
