UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANTHONY TARPLEY-BEY, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

UNITED STATES PAROLE 

COMMISSION, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2741-MCE-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner is a federal prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of mandate pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1651. He has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required 

filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity 

to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or 

submit the appropriate filing fee. 

Petitioner has requested that the court appoint counsel. There currently exists no absolute 

right to appointment of counsel in mandamus proceedings. The court may, however, appoint 

counsel at any stage of the proceedings “if the interests of justice so require.” See 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3006A. The court does not find that the interests of justice would be served by the 

appointment of counsel at this stage of the proceedings.
