IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERTO HERRERA,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-12-0508 DAD P

vs.

CONNIE GIPSON, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner has filed a document with the court styled as a, “Court Order Request,”

in which petitioner requests that the court reconsider its order denying his request for the

appointment of counsel. As the court explained in its order filed on March 13, 2012, 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). Although the court may appoint counsel“if the

interests of justice so require,” the court has determined that at this time, the appointment of

counsel is not required.
