IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AZRINE AHCENE,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-1839 LKK KJM P

vs.

ALBERTO R. GONZALES, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, an individual detained by the United States Office of Immigration and

Customs Enforcement, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable

to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

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

that the interests of justice 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).
