Accordingly, the clerk shall re-open this matter.

Thus, this matter is referred to the Federal Pro Bono Project to find counsel. The Clerk
22
shall forward to the Federal Pro Bono Project: (i) a copy of this order, (ii) a copy of the docket
23

25
matter until further order of the court.
26
All proceedings in this action are stayed until four weeks from the date an attorney is
