TANG, Senior Circuit Judge:
This is a review of a declaratory judgment in which the district court concluded that the constitutional right of access to the courts requires a state to provide legal assistance only through the pleading stage of a habeas corpus or civil rights action. The issue on appeal is whether the constitutional right of access to the courts requires a state to provide legal assistance beyond the pleading stage. We conclude that it does not.
