C.A. No. 13-11183-JLT

ORDER
YOUNG, J.
The motion for appointment of pro bono counsel (#22) for the purpose of filing a notice of
appeal is DENIED. The Court’s pro bono program does not provide for the appointment of
counsel for the purposes of an appeal.
The Court notes that, unlike an appellate brief, a notice of appeal is generally a simple
document. The Clerk shall provide the plaintiff a form notice of appeal, which may also be found
at http://www.mad.uscourts.gov/resources/pdf/NoticeofAppeal.PDF. The time period for filing a
notice of appeal in a civil action is governed by Rule 4(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
