TAWWAB v. McKEE

HUGH BRENNEMAN JR., Magistrate Judge

The court dismissed petitioner's habeas action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See docket nos. 36 and 37. This matter is now before the court on petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel on appeal (docket no. 46). Petitioner's motion is not properly before this court. His pro se appeal is pending in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. See Tawwab v. McKee, No. 10-1394 (6th Cir.). The Sixth Circuit regulates the admission and conduct of the attorneys practicing before it. See, e.g., Fed.R.App.P. 46 and 6 Cir. R. 46. Petitioner should address his request for appointment of counsel to that court. Accordingly, petitioner's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
