jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion.

Bradshaw v. Zoological Soc’y of San Diego, 662 F.2d 1301, 1319 (9th Cir. 1981).

We affirm.

      The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Perry’s motion for

appointment of counsel because Perry failed to demonstrate that she made

sufficient efforts to secure counsel or that her claims have merit. See id. (setting

forth factors for court to assess in determining whether to appoint counsel for

actions involving claims under Title VII).

      AFFIRMED.
