No. 2:15-cv-1505 KJM CKD P

v.

ORDER

JEFFREY ROLFING, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
By order filed April 20, 2017, plaintiff’s request for appointment of counsel was granted

17
18

and Jeff D. Price was appointed as counsel for plaintiff. (ECF No. 53.) Mr. Price’s appointment

19

was contingent upon plaintiff executing an engagement letter and returning it to appointed

20

counsel, at which time counsel was to file a notice with the court advising of the satisfactory

21

execution and return of the engagement letter. (Id.) It has been over two months since the

22

appointment order was issued and counsel has yet to notify the court that the engagement letter

23

has been executed or that he has encountered difficulties in obtaining a signed engagement letter.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within seven days of the date of this order,

25

counsel for plaintiff must file a notice with the court advising whether an engagement letter has
