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.
