UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS DANE SANDERS,

Petitioner,

v.

PONCE, et al.,

Respondents.

No. 2:15-cv-1619 TLN CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner seeks 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). 18 U.S.C. § 3006A authorizes the appointment of counsel at 

any stage of the case “if the interests of justice so require.” 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.
