Plaintiff Efren Bullard is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights

19

action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 19, 2020, plaintiff filed a second motion

20

requesting appointment of counsel. ECF No. 85. The motion is substantially similar to plaintiff’s

21

original motion requesting counsel, see ECF No. 49, and is denied without prejudice for the same

22

reasons, see ECF No. 51. The court may revisit this issue at a later stage of the proceedings if the

23

interests of justice so require. However, circumstances in this case have not changed enough to

24

warrant the appointment of counsel.
