Plaintiff, a former state inmate, is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court finds the appointment of counsel for

19

plaintiff warranted. Shahid Manzoor has been selected from the court’s pro bono attorney panel

20

to represent plaintiff and has agreed to be appointed.

21

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

22

1. Shahid Manzoor is appointed as plaintiff’s counsel in the above titled matter.

23

2. Appointed counsel shall notify Sujean Park via email at [e-mail] if he

statement.

6. All motions in limine must be filed in conjunction with the joint pretrial statement. In

9

most cases, motions in limine are addressed and resolved on the morning of the first day

10

of trial. The parties may alert the court at the Final Pretrial Conference and in their final

11

Joint Pretrial Statement that a particular motion or motions should be resolved earlier. At

12

the Final Pretrial Conference, the court will set a briefing and hearing schedule on the

13

motions in limine as necessary. The parties are reminded that a motion in limine is a

14

pretrial procedural device designed to address the admissibility of evidence. The court

15

looks with disfavor upon dispositional motions presented at the Final Pretrial Conference

16

or at Trial in the guise of motions in limine.
