On March 3, 2017, the court referred this action to the Federal Pro Bono Project to find
14
counsel interested in representing plaintiff in this action. A representative from the Federal Pro
15
Bono Project has informed the court that attorneys John Schreiber, Scotia Hicks, Deepi Punia, and
16
Whitney Carlson of the law firm of Winston & Strawn LLP, located at 35th Floor, 101 California
17
Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, are willing to be appointed to undertake this representation at
18
the request of the Federal Pro Bono Project.
19
Accordingly, attorneys John Schreiber, Scotia Hicks, Deepi Punia, and Whitney Carlson of
20
Winston & Strawn LLP are hereby appointed as counsel for plaintiff for all purposes in this action.
21
Counsel shall be familiar with General Order No. 25 and the Federal Pro Bono Project Guidelines

posted on the Court's website.
23
All proceedings are stayed until four weeks from the date of this order.

The court will hold a case management conference at 3:00 p.m. on May 12, 2017. The
25
parties shall file a joint case management statement no later than one week before the case
26
management conference. The court is particularly interested in setting a discovery schedule and
27
trial date, and expects the joint case management statement to (a) identify the specific discovery
28
1
that remains to be done, (b) propose a schedule for the completion of that discovery, and
2
(c) propose mutually available trial dates, preferably within the next four to eight months. To aid
3
in scheduling the trial, plaintiff’s counsel should make inquiries and include in the joint case
4
management statement information about plaintiff’s expected release date from custody, or the
5
length of the sentence plaintiff currently is serving and his minimum eligible parole date.
