19

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 1, 2018, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend

within 30 days. ECF No. 11. Plaintiff subsequently requested the appointment of counsel, which

21

the court denied, and also filed a statement regarding his medical condition. ECF Nos. 14, 15, 16.

dismissal.
