MEMORANDUM and ORDER
DAVID R. HERNDON, District Judge.
Now before the Court is Sanders' motion to appoint counsel (Doc. 56). Specifically, Sanders would like counsel appointed to help her file a motion to reduce sentence for the proposed drug amendment 782.
The right to appointed counsel does not extend to proceedings under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Foster, 706 F.3d 887 (7th Cir. 2013)(Prisoners who seek lower sentences following retroactive changes to the Guidelines do not receive counsel at public expense.) United States v. Forman, 553 F.3d 585, 590 (7th Cir. 2009);United States v. Tidwell, 178 F.3d 946, 949 (7th Cir. 1999); United States v. Kelly, 307 Fed.Appx. 1 (7th Cir. 2009)(Refusal to appoint counsel and to conduct hearing on motion or resentencing based on amendment to United States Sentencing Guidelines was not abuse of discretion.). Thus, the Court DENIES the motion (Doc. 56).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
