The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sample, 92 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1996):
We also affirm the district court's decision not to appoint counsel for Sample's 2255 motion. Defendants do not have a constitutional right to counsel when mounting collateral attacks upon their convictions. United States v. Angelone, 894 F.2d 1129, 1130 (9th Cir.1990).
