Case No. 1:18-cv-00570-BAM (PC)
Plaintiff,

ORDER DENYING SECOND MOTION FOR
APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

v.
(ECF No. 16)
STANISLAUS COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff Wade Wolfe (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

18

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action in

19

the Sacramento division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California

20

on April 23, 2018. (ECF No. 1.) This action was transferred to the Fresno division on April 26,

21

2018. (ECF No. 4.) Plaintiff’s complaint has not yet been screened.

22

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s second motion for appointment of counsel, filed

23

May 29, 2018. (ECF No. 16.) As in his prior motion, Plaintiff claims that he has a disability

24

covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), specifically that he suffers from low

25

cognitive function. He requests that the Court provide him with appointed counsel. (Id.)

26

It appears Plaintiff’s motion crossed in the mail with the Court’s May 30, 2018 order

27

denying Plaintiff’s prior motion for appointment of counsel, which was filed on May 24, 2018.

28

As Plaintiff has raised no new grounds for the Court’s consideration, Plaintiff’s second motion for
1

1

appointment of counsel, (ECF No. 16), is DENIED, without prejudice, for the reasons discussed

2

in the Court’s May 30, 2018 order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
