ORDER denying Petitioner's 9 Motion to Appoint Counsel. As this Court has noted (see Dkt. No. 7 ), there is still no properly filed habeas petition pending in this matter. Petitioner's original petition was deficient, and he has yet to file an amended petition that remedies the deficiencies identified by the Court. Because there is no pending habeas petition, there is nothing for the Court to evaluate to determine whether appointing counsel in this matter is appropriate.
