IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA *E-FILED - 8/2/10*

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action. Plaintiff claimed that defendants violated his right to due process and also were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. On March 24, 2010, the court referred the instant case to the court's Pro Se Prisoner Settlement Program and stayed the case pending settlement proceedings. On June 2, 2010, Judge Vadas reported that the case did not settle. As neither dispositive motions nor settlement proceedings have fully resolved the claims in this case, this matter is ready for trial. Because this matter is ready for trial, plaintiff is incarcerated, plaintiff needs the assistance of counsel, and plaintiff requests counsel, the court GRANTS plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel. The court further orders that: a. location of counsel;
