Plaintiff,

SALLY JEWELL, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff has again requested appointment of counsel. It appears plaintiff is requesting
appointment of counsel pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1)(B).
Any successful application for appointment of counsel must comply with criteria set forth
20
in Bradshaw v. Zoological Society of San Diego, 662 F.2d 1301 (9th Cir. 1981). Before
21
appointing counsel to plaintiff, the court must consider (1) plaintiff’s financial resources, (2) the
22
efforts already made by plaintiff to secure counsel, and (3) plaintiff’s likelihood of success on the
23
merits. Id. at 1318. Appointment of counsel is not a matter of right. See Ivey v. Board of
24
Regents, 673 F. 2d 266 (9th Cir. 1982).
25
The court previously denied plaintiff’s request for appointment of counsel. ECF No. 9. In
26
light of the findings and recommendations recommending dismissal of this action, plaintiff cannot
27
demonstrate the third factor required under Bradshaw. The court has therefore determined
28
appointment of counsel is not warranted in this matter.

1
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s request for the appointment of
2
counsel (ECF No. 35) is denied.
