UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BERNARD C. HUGHES,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN MARTIN BITER,

Respondent.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-01237-LJO-SKO HC 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S 

MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT 

OF PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

(Doc. 33)

Petitioner, proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254, moves for appointment of a private investigator “to further develop facts on Mariposa County 

Adult Detention Facilities [sic] ability to use jail to monitor attorney visits and/or other tasks.” The 

motions provides neither legal authority nor factual basis for appointing a private investigator for that 

purpose, and no justification is discernable from the habeas petition in this case.

Accordingly, the motion for appointment of a private investigator is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
