193632P.pdf   04/22/2021  Charles Ahumada  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3632
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Prisoner case - Habeas. A petition for rehearing under FRAP 40 is a discretionary appeal, and there is no right to counsel for discretionary appeals; the CJA Act, the 8th Circuit's CJA plan and Fed. R. Crim. P. 44(a) do not create a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel for petitions for rehearing; the district court properly denied the Section 2255 motion alleging counsel's failure to file a petition for rehearing denied Ahumada the right to counsel.
