Defendants.

ORDER
/

15

Plaintiff is a prison inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil

16
17

rights action. On March 21, 2011, plaintiff filed his fourth request for the appointment of

18

counsel. Plaintiff’s previous requests were filed on June 7, 2010, July 29, 2010, and November

19

15, 2010. All requests were denied and in light of those orders, this request will also be denied.

20

Plaintiff additionally asks for sanctions to be imposed on defendants’ counsel with regard to

21

alleged misstatements and for filing frivolous motions, by which he apparently means, the

22

pending motions to dismiss, which request will also be denied.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s March 21, 2011, request

23
24

for appointment of counsel and for sanctions (Docket No. 52) is denied.
