UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 1] RYAN ALAN DEARMAN, No. 2:21-cv-2412 TLN CKD P Petitioner, Vv. ORDER JULIE KAPLAN, Respondent. 16 Petitioner has requested the appointment of counsel. There currently exists no absolute 18 || 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 20 of the case “if the interests of justice so require.” See Rule 8(c), Fed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for appointment of 24 counsel (ECF No. 24) is denied. || Dated: June 9, 2022 / hice ANKE) flo CAROLYN K.DELANEY …
