The following excerpt is from Radi v. McCormick, 978 F.2d 715 (9th Cir. 1992):
We agree with the district court that this case does not present exceptional circumstances warranting appointment of counsel for Radi. See Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir.1986). Moreover, we cannot say that the court abused its discretion by refusing to issue the subpoenas or denying Radi's request for access to prison files.
