jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion.
Bradshaw v. Zoological Soc’y of San Diego, 662 F.2d 1301, 1319 (9th Cir. 1981).
We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Perry’s motion for
appointment of counsel because Perry failed to demonstrate that she made
sufficient efforts to secure counsel or that her claims have merit. See id. (setting
forth factors for court to assess in determining whether to appoint counsel for
actions involving claims under Title VII).
AFFIRMED.
