IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN STRACK,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0580 RRB DAD P

vs.

ROSANNE CAMBELL, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner has 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 require the

appointment of counsel at the present time. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s June 13, 2007 motion

for appointment of counsel is denied.

DATED: June 22, 2007.
