Because Plaintiff Richard B. Powers (“Plaintiff”) expressed a need for counsel to assist

him in this matter and a volunteer attorney is willing to be appointed to undertake this

15

representation at the request of the Federal Pro Bono Project, Howard Golds and Benjamin Lee of

16

Best Best & Krieger are appointed as counsel for Plaintiff in this matter. The Clerk shall amend

17

the docket to reflect their contact information as follows: Howard Golds, Best Best & Krieger,

2001 North Main Street #390, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.

The scope of this referral shall be for the limited purpose of representing the litigant in the

21

course of a settlement conference. The Court will maintain the schedule set forth in its Order

22

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss; however, should newly-appointed Plaintiff’s counsel

23

need more time for the settlement conference, the parties shall meet and confer to stipulate to a

24

new deadline for the settlement conference and a new case management conference date.
