ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL

C.D. HOUGLAND, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil

18

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The dispositive motion filing deadline expired on

19

May 2, 2015. ECF No. 152. The court ordered the parties to participate in a settlement

20

conference that was ultimately unsuccessful (ECF Nos. 155, 158), and this case will now proceed

21

to trial. A further order setting pretrial and trial deadlines will issue at a later date. The court

22

finds that it would be benefited by the appointment of counsel for plaintiff as this case proceeds to

23

trial. The law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon has been selected from the court’s pro bono

24

attorney panel to represent plaintiff and has agreed to be appointed. Plaintiff shall be represented

25

by Amir Nassihi, Joan Camagong, and Alicia Donahue.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. Amir Nassihi, Joan Camagong, and Alicia Donahue of Shook, Hardy & Bacon are

28

appointed as counsel in the above entitled matter for the purpose of pursing this action on
