IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRELL L. DIETLE, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-2276 FCD GGH P

vs.

JAMES A. YATES, et al.,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner has requested an extension of time to file a response to the order dated

May 31, 2007. Good cause appearing, the request is granted.

Petitioner has requested the 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.
