Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 811 F.2d 603 (6th Cir. 1986) Dec. 5, 1986

Before ENGLE, JONES and NELSON, Circuit Judges.


ORDER

This matter is before the Court on appeal from the magistrate's February 13, 1986, order denying appointment of counsel. The certified record has been received and has been construed as an application for certificate of probable cause pursuant to Rule 22(b), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

Title 28 U.S.C. § 2253 provides for an appeal in a habeas corpus action from the final order of the district court. However, the instant appeal was not taken from a final order. The order denying counsel is not a final appealable order. Henry v. City of Detroit Manpower Department, 763 F.2d 757 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 106 S. Ct. 604 (1985).

It is ORDERED that certificate of probable cause be denied as unnecessary since the appeal was not taken from a final judgment and the appeal be and hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(d) (1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
