NOTICE RE PRO BONO

Defendant.

No. C 13-03721 WHA

Defendant John Hom is not indigent and therefore does not qualify for appointment of

17

pro bono counsel with the Court’s federal pro bono project. This tax action, however, involves

18

novel questions of law regarding the interpretation of the Bank Secrecy Act and related

19

regulations. Accordingly, the Court seeks counsel to volunteer to represent defendant on a pro

20

bono basis for the remainder of this action. Pro bono counsel will be allowed to re-brief the

21

pending summary judgment motion, which is currently held under submission. In addition, a

22

case management schedule has not yet been set.

If any counsel is willing to volunteer to represent defendant, please email the undersigned
judge’s courtroom deputy, Dawn Toland, at [e-mail] by JUNE 12, 2014.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
