June 23, 2000
Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Otis Belser appeals the district court’s denial of his
motion for appointment of counsel. Belser has not demonstrated
the "exceptional circumstances" necessary for appointment of
counsel in a civil rights case. See Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691
F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir. 1982). The district court’s order
denying appointment of counsel is therefore AFFIRMED.
