The following excerpt is from United States ex rel. Gordon v. Reincke, 415 F.2d 1126 (2nd Cir. 1969):
Appellant also objects to the failure of the district court to appoint counsel below to represent him and to assist him in handling his federal habeas corpus petition. This claim is foreclosed by our decision in United States ex rel. Wissenfeld v. Wilkins, 281 F.2d 707, 714-716 (2 Cir. 1960)5 and is therefore denied.
