17

Following the resolution of defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this prisoner

18

civil rights case, the court determined that appointment of counsel was warranted. James Weixel,

19

a member of the court’s pro bono attorney panel, was appointed on November 25, 2014 to

20

represent plaintiff. ECF No. 101. Mr. Weixel has now filed a motion to withdraw, set for hearing

21

on January 14, 2015. ECF No. 103. The motion is based on plaintiff’s refusal to meet with

22

counsel.

23

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff file his response to Mr. Weixel’s motion

24

within 21 days. There will be no extension of time. Plaintiff’s response should clearly indicate

25

whether or not he wishes to be represented by pro bono counsel in this matter.
