MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson on 9/22/2026: In light of the findings and recommendations at ECF 8, it is hereby ORDERED that petitioner's motion to appoint counsel, ECF No. 3, is DENIED. 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). Under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, the court can appoint counsel at any stage of the case "if the interests of justice so require." See Rule 8(c), Fed. R. Governing § 2254 Cases. The court finds that the interests of justice do not require the appointment of counsel in this matter at the present time. (Text Only Entry). (Deputy Clerk NAC) (Entered: 09/22/2026)
