ORDER

In this civil rights prisoner action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, this Court denied
Defendants’ summary judgment on December 5, 2016, as to Plaintiff’s claim for excessive force.
(Doc. No. 61). In the Court’s order dated December 5, 2016, based on Plaintiff’s prior requests
for appointment of counsel, the Court stated that it would inquire into appointment of counsel to
represent Plaintiff at trial. Attorney Jonathan Watkins of the law firm of Moore and Van Allen
has since then agreed to provide pro bono representation to Plaintiff in this action.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Jonathan Watkins
is appointed to serve as counsel for Plaintiff in this case.
Signed: February 28, 2017
