PAPERLESS ORDER denying4 Motion to Appoint Counsel. Federal habeas petitioners have no constitutional right to counsel. Chavez v. Sec'y, Fla. Dep't of Corr ., 742 F.3d 940, 944 (11th Cir. 2014). Under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, the district court may appoint counsel for a petitioner when "the interests of justice so require." See United States v. Johnson , 842 F. App'x 402, 405 (11th Cir. 2021). At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court finds that the appointment of counsel is not warranted. Signed by Judge Darrin P. Gayles on 1/7/2025. (sil) |
