Case No. 2:16-cv-02870-JAD-CWH
ORDER
12
13
Presently before the court is pro se Plaintiff Barbara Ruth Cram’s Motion to Inform About
14
Notice of Appeal (ECF No. 16), filed on May 5, 2017. In this motion, Ms. Cram states that “she
15
needs the notice of appeal to include all points and authorities that you may have. And to include
16
hearing the whole case here.” (Id. at 1.) It is unclear to the court exactly what relief Ms. Cram is
17
requesting in this motion, but it appears to relate to her appeal.
18
Also before the court is Ms. Cram’s Motion for Counsel (ECF No. 20), filed on May 8,
19
2017. Ms. Cram requests the appointment of an attorney, stating that “I was just raped hundred of
20
times and can’t pay. Can you assist me. I’m disheveled in my person and can’t get dressed until
21
midday. I can’t get torture out of my mind and it was plentiful. I can’t continue pro se.” (Id. at 1-
22
2.) Given that this case is closed and that Ms. Cram filed a notice of appeal (ECF No. 15) before
23
requesting an attorney, the court understands Ms. Cram to be requesting an attorney for the purpose
24
of her appeal.
25
On August 15, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed Ms.
26
Cram’s appeal as frivolous. (Order (ECF No. 29).) Given that Ms. Cram’s appeal has been
27
dismissed, the court will deny her pending motions as moot.
