October 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no pdf document associated with this entry.) ORDER denying Petitioner's motion for order #4 . A civil litigant does not have a constitutional or statutory right to appointed counsel in a habeas action but the Court may appoint counsel at its discretion. The Court has considered Petitioner's need for an attorney at this juncture, the likelihood that he will benefit from assistance of counsel, the factual complexity of the case, the Petitioner's ability to investigate and present his case, and the complexity of the legal issues. In considering these factors, the Court finds that, at this time, Petitioner's claims do not appear legally or factually complex, and it appears from the face of his Petition he is capable of prosecuting his claims without appointed counsel.
