ORDER for appointment of counsel from the Pilot Program to Implement A Civil Pro Bono Panel by Judge Christine M. Arguello on 2/27/14. (dkals, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Christine M. Arguello
Civil Action No. 14-cv-00230-CMA-BNB
IN RE THE APPLICATION OF
RAQUEL FABIOLA MARQUEAVILA,
Plaintiff,
v.
ROLANDO CONTRERA GALLEGOS,
Defendant.

APPOINTMENT ORDER

In accordance with Part III.C. of the U.S. District Court’s Pilot Program to
Implement A Civil Pro Bono Panel, the Court hereby determines that Defendant
Rolando Contrera Gallegos merits appointment of counsel drawn from the Civil Pro
Bono Panel. The Court is satisfied that the following factors and considerations have
been met:
1)

the nature and complexity of the action;

2)

the potential merit of the pro se party's claims;

3)

the demonstrated inability of the pro se party to retain counsel by

other means; and
4)

the degree to which the interests of justice will be served by appointment

of counsel, including the benefit the Court may derive from the assistance of the
appointed counsel.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk shall select, notify, and appoint
counsel to represent the pro se Defendant in this civil matter. The pro se Defendant
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.
This order does not guarantee that a pro bono attorney will ultimately appear
for Defendant. Accordingly, the Court cautions that the Defendant is responsible for
all scheduled matters, including hearings, depositions, motions and trial.
