UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AARON LYNDALE COOPER,

Petitioner,

v.

JEANNE S. WOODFORD,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-1516 SI (pr)

ORDER 

After the petition for writ of habeas corpus was denied and judgment entered, petitioner

filed a notice of appeal. A week after filing the notice of appeal, he filed a motion for

reconsideration and a motion requesting appointment of counsel.

This court lacks jurisdiction to consider the motion for reconsideration because there is

an appeal pending. See Williams v. Woodford, 384 F.3d 567, 586 (9th Cir. 2004). The court

also construes the motion to request the court to indicate it would entertain a motion for relief

from the judgment, see id., and declines that request. The motion for reconsideration is

DENIED. (Docket # 27.) 

Petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel also is DENIED because his case has

concluded in this court. (Docket # 28.) The denial of this motion is without prejudice to him

filing such a motion in the Ninth Circuit.

All further motions should be filed in the Ninth Circuit rather than in the district court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
