No. 2:17-cv-2189 KJN P

Petitioner,
v.

ORDER

JOE A. LIZARRAGA,

15

Respondent.

16
17

Petitioner is a state prisoner. On December 8, 2017, petitioner filed a one page document

18

bearing only the case caption and the title, “Motion for a Lawyer.” (ECF No. 18.) The document

19

is not signed by petitioner as required by Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

20

Moreover, there are no facts or legal authorities to support a motion. Accordingly, IT IS

21

HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s “motion” (ECF No. 18) is denied without prejudice to its

22

renewal upon petitioner correcting these procedural defects.

23

Dated: December 14, 2017
