ORDER RE: TERMINATION OF LIMITED 

APPOINTMENT COUNSEL AND 

SUBSTITUTION OF PLAINTIFF IN PRO 

PER (ECF No. 15)

ORDER DIRECTING COUNSEL TO 

SUBMIT PLAINTIFF’S CURRENT OR 

LAST KNOWN ADDRESS WITHIN 10 

DAYS

TEN-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Jesus B. Castaneda (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis 

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 29, 2012, the Court appointed 

Yan E. Shrayberman as counsel for Plaintiff for the limited purpose of drafting and filing an 

amended complaint. Pursuant to that order, Yan E. Shrayberman’s appointment would terminate 

when Plaintiff’s amended complaint was filed. (ECF No. 15.)

Plaintiff’s counsel filed the first amended complaint on November 4, 2012. (ECF No. 

28.) On September 6, 2013, the Court screened the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, 

and found that it stated a cognizable claim against Defendants Reeves, John Doe, Trimble and 

Martinez for deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth Amendment and against 

Defendants Quezada, Lopez and Martinez for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment.

The Court issued findings and recommendations that all other claims and defendants be 

dismissed. (ECF No. 29.) On September 30, 2013, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit service 

documents and USM-285 forms to initiate service for Defendants Reeves, Trimble, Martinez, 

Lopez and Quezada within thirty days. (ECF No. 30.) 

Both the findings and recommendations and the order to submit service documents were 

served on Plaintiff’s limited-appointment counsel. (ECF No. 29, 30, 31.) However, by operation 

of the Court’s May 29, 2012 order, counsel’s appointment was terminated upon the filing of the 

first amended complaint on November 4, 2012. 

Accordingly, Yan E. Shrayberman’s appointment as counsel has terminated and Plaintiff 

is SUBSTITUTED in pro per. Yan E. Shrayberman is hereby DIRECTED to file written notice 

of Plaintiff’s current or last known address within 10 days of the date of this order, along with a 

statement notifying the Court if counsel sent Plaintiff the September 6, 2013 findings and 

recommendations and the September 9, 2013 order directing submission of service documents.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
