Plaintiff, a state prisoner incarcerated at Chuckawalla Valley State Prison and proceeding

15

pro se, filed this civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed April 8, 2013,

16

the Court referred the matter to the Federal Pro Bono Project for appointment of counsel for the

17

limited purpose of representing plaintiff at deposition. Thereafter, by order filed, April 26, 2013,

18

the Court appointed attorneys Jon Streeter and Thomas E. Gorman of Keker & Van Nest LLP to

19

serve as volunteer counsel for plaintiff's deposition. Volunteer counsel has notified the Court that

20

they represented plaintiff at his deposition in Blythe, California on October 16, 2013 and that there

21

are no remaining deposition-related obligations in the case. (Dkt. No. 43.)

22

Accordingly, the scope of volunteer representation having been fulfilled, the Court hereby

23

removes this case from the Federal Pro Bono Project and terminates any further responsibilities of

24

volunteer counsel.

The Clerk is directed to remove Jon Streeter and Thomas E. Gorman of Keker & Van Nest

LLP from the docket as counsel of record in this action. The docket should reflect that plaintiff is
