IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARTHUR ANDERSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV-04-1172 GEB GGH P

vs.

CA BOARD OF PRISON TERMS, et al.,

Respondents, ORDER

 /

Petitioner has requested a 90-day extension of time to file his objections to the

February 2, 2007, findings and recommendations. Petitioner has also 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. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner's February 15, 2007 request for an extension of time is partially

granted;

without prejudice.
