El-Jassem v. United States Parole Commission
Docket: No. 02-56862; D.C. No. CV-01-05579-CAS
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; December 14, 2003; Federal Appellate Court
Khaled El-Jassem, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas corpus petition, which was dismissed with prejudice. The appellate court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 and reviews the denial de novo. The court affirms the district court's decision based on the reasons outlined in the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, adopted by the district court. Additionally, the court finds that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying El-Jassem’s two requests for counsel. The decision is affirmed, and it is noted that this disposition is not suitable for publication and cannot be cited in other cases except under specific Ninth Circuit rules.
