Can a federal district court order denying a request for appointment of counsel be appealed?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Real v. San Diego Dept. of Mental Health, 46 F.3d 1144 (9th Cir. 1994):
The district court's order denying the request for appointment of counsel is not a final appealable order under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291, nor is it immediately appealable under the collateral order exception to the final judgment rule. Kuster v. Block, 773 F.2d 1048 (9th Cir. 1985).
Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. 1
