November 8, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 10 PAPERLESS ORDER denying #3 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Federal courts have an obligation to look behind the label of a motion filed by a pro se inmate and determine whether the motion is, in effect cognizable under a different remedial statutory framework. United States v. Jordan, 915 F.2d 622, 624-25 (11th Cir. 1990). This filing is more properly construed as a Motion to Vacate filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255.

"A civil litigant... has no absolute constitutional right to the appointment of counsel." Poole v. Lambert, 819 F.2d 1025, 1028 (11th Cir. 1987) (citations omitted). This rule applies to habeas corpus proceedings. See Arthur v. Allen, 452 F.3d 1234, 1249 (11th Cir. 2006) (citing Murray v. Giarratano, 492 U.S. 1, 10, 12 (1989)). "The appointment of counsel is instead a privilege that is justified only by exceptional circumstances, such as where the facts and legal issues are so novel or complex as to require the assistance of a trained practitioner." Poole, 819 F.2d at 1028 (citations omitted). Here, at this time, petitioner has not made this showing. Therefore, the court denies his motion without prejudice. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lisette M.
