December 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL granting #2 Motion to Appoint Counsel. The Court, having considered the factors set forth in Hodge v. Police Officers, 802 F.2d 58 (2d Cir. 1985), concludes that the appointment of CJA counsel to represent Mr. Martinez in connection with his section 2255 motion is in the interests of justice. See, e.g., Starkes v. United States, No. 20-CV-0265-LGS, 2020 WL 230944, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 15, 2020) (applying the Hodge factors and appointing counsel, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3006A and 28 U.S.C. sections 2255(g), in connection with a section 2255 motion brought by an indigent movant alleging his criminal counsels failure to request a competency hearing). The Court therefore appoints counsel from the Criminal Justice Act Habeas Panel. The Courts CJA Clerk is directed to assign the next available, non-conflicted attorney from that panel to represent Mr. Martinez in connection with his motion pursuant to section 2255. Because Mr. Martinezs sec tion 2255 motion contains his complete birthdate, theCourt has filed a redacted version of that motion on the public docket, and will file the complete, unredacted version under seal. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2; Fed. R. Crim. P. 69.1. This Order resolves docket entry no. 2 in case no. 21-CV-10445, and docket entry no. 441 in case no. 18-CR-319. Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to Mr. Martinez. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 12/8/2021) (rro)
