Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action, has again requested

appointment of counsel. As the court stated previously, plaintiff must show exceptional

19

circumstances to warrant the court’s request for voluntary counsel. 1 Plaintiff presents nothing

20

new that would establish exceptional circumstances. For the reasons stated in the court’s August

21

29, 2016 order, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s current motion for appointment of

22

counsel (ECF No. 32 ) is denied.

The court recognizes that plaintiff did not receive a copy of the court’s August 29, 2016 order

August 28, to the court.
