December 21, 2020 Filing 8 TEXT ORDER denying #7 Motion to Appoint Counsel. There is no recognized constitutional right under the Sixth Amendment for the appointment of counsel in habeas corpus cases. Hoggard v. Purkett, 29 F.3d 469, 471 (8th Cir. 1994). Habeas actions are civil in nature, so the Sixth Amendment right to counsel applicable in criminal proceedings does not apply. Id. The court does, however, have discretion to appoint counsel if the interests of justice so require or if an evidentiary hearing will be held. See 18 U.S.C. 3006A(a)(2)(B). The court will not appoint counsel at this juncture of the proceedings and accordingly denies movants motion. This case is not legally or factually complex and the court is confident movant can present his issues himself at this point. Should an evidentiary hearing become necessary, the court will appoint counsel. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motion to extend is denied. Signed by US Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on 12/21/2020. (CG) Modified on 12/21/2020 cc: Kenneth Workman via USPS(KLE).
