Jerry Dillingham (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se1 and in forma pauperis
with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On July 29, 2019, Plaintiff filed a motion for administrative relief in which he seeks
appointment of attorney Christian F. Pereira for purposes of settlement. (ECF No. 61.)
Plaintiff’s request is denied as moot because Mr. Pereira has already been appointed to

22

represent Plaintiff for purposes of settlement. (See ECF No. 51 (appointing Christian F. Pereira as

23

Plaintiff’s limited purpose counsel for “the limited purpose of assisting Plaintiff prepare for and

24

participate in a settlement conference, to set a settlement conference, and to stay the case pending

25

the outcome of the settlement conference”).) This limited purpose representation includes the

26

drafting of documents related to the settlement conference, such as Plaintiff’s settlement

27

statement.

Christian Pereira has been appointed as limited purpose counsel to assist Plaintiff with preparing for and
