IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNY LYNN WARREN,

Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-2120 MCE EFB P

vs.

DOMINGO URIBE, JR.,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has once again requested that the court appoint counsel. As petitioner has

been previously informed, see Dckt. No. 11, 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). The court may appoint counsel at any stage of the proceedings “if the interests of

justice so require.” See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A; see also, Rule 8(c), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. 

The court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the appointment of

counsel at this stage of the proceedings. 

Accordingly, it hereby is ORDERED that petitioner’s request for appointment of counsel,

Dckt. No. 46, is denied without prejudice. 

Dated: October 4, 2012.
