ORDER

14
/
15
Upon review of plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel and the documents
16
on file and good cause appearing therefor, the court finds as follows:
17
Efforts to obtain legal representation without order of this court would be futile;
18
1. Plaintiff's income is 125 percent or less of the current poverty threshold
19
established by the Office of Management and Budget of the United States and is otherwise
20
without resources to obtain counsel;
21
2. This case is of a type that attorneys in this district ordinarily do not accept
22
without prepayment of a fee;
23
3. This case is not a fee generating case within the meaning of California Business
24
and Professions Code § 8030.4(g); and
