Is an attorney required to prosecute a petition for the writ of habeas corpus?

Appellant contends that an attorney should have been appointed to prosecute his petition for a writ in the district court. An indigent state prisoner applying to a federal court for habeas corpus is not entitled to an appointed attorney unless the particular circumstances indicate that it is necessary to obtain due process. Eskridge v. Rhay, 345 F.2d 778 (9 Cir. 1965), cert. den. 382 U.S. 996, 86 S.Ct. 582, 15 L.Ed.2d 483. No such circumstances appear here.

The order denying a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.
