This matter was reassigned from the Honorable David F. Levi for all further proceedings 1

on November 22, 2006. (Doc. 18.) 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JABAR HALLY, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S- 04- 0828 RRB CMK P 1

vs.

A.K. SCRIBNER, Warden, 

Respondent.

 / ORDER

On January 26, 2007, petitioner filed a request for a second extension of time to

file objections to the court’s December 14, 2006 findings and recommendations. Good cause

appearing the court will grant this request. Petitioner also filed a motion for appointment of

counsel. There currently exists no absolute right to appointment of counsel in habeas

proceedings. See Nevius v. Sumner, 105 F.3d 453, 460 (9th Cir. 1996). However, 18 U.S.C.

§ 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at any stage of the case “if the interests of justice

so require.” See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. In the present case, the court does

not find that the interests of justice would be served by the appointment of counsel at the present

time.
