ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE
JUDGE TO APPOINT COUNSEL
This matter is before the Court on the February 6, 2015 Recommendation
by United States Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty sua sponte that the District Court
direct the Clerk of the Court to appoint counsel for Plaintiff in this case. (Doc. # 213.)
The Recommendation is incorporated herein by reference. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1)(B); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
The Court has reviewed the Pilot Program to Implement a Civil Pro Bono Panel,
Section III(B)(3). In accordance with D.C.COLO.LAttyR 15 of the U.S. District Court’s
Local Rules, the Court hereby determines that Plaintiff Miller merits appointment of
counsel drawn from the Civil Pro Bono Panel. The Court is satisfied that the four factors
and considerations listed in Section III(B)(3) have been met. Therefore, the Court
ADOPTS the Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Hegarty as the findings and

conclusions of this Court.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge (Doc. # 213) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall select, notify, and appoint counsel to
represent the unrepresented party in this civil matter. The unrepresented party is
advised that the clerk will select counsel from the Panel; however, there is no guarantee
that Panel members will undertake representation in every case selected as part of the
Pilot Program. The Court cautions that the Plaintiff is responsible for all scheduled
matters, including hearings, depositions, motions, and trial.
