August 12, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 13 TEXT ORDER denying #11 motion to appoint counsel. Congress does not appropriate funds to pay attorneys who represent litigants in non-capital habeas corpus cases. 53 Comp. Gen. 638 (1974). Although this economic fact is not conclusively determinative of the issue, it is a practical consideration which cannot be ignored. Further, in most non-capital habeas corpus cases, the issues are not complex and whenever such a case is brought by a pro se litigant, as here, this Court outlines proper procedure for responding to dispositive motions so the pro se litigant will not be deprived of a fair opportunity to present his case. See Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309, 310 (4th Cir.1975). Here, Petitioner filed this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2241, seeking to have the results of a disciplinary hearing expunged based on a lack of due process. The Court finds this is not the type of case that presents factors that clearly reflect a need for appointed counsel, and Petitioner has demonstrated he can adequately present his claims. TEXT ORDER denying #12 motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court has already granted Petitioners previous motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
