ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’

APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF

COUNSEL (DOC. 26)

 

Plaintiffs are proceeding pro se with an action for damages

and other relief concerning alleged civil rights violations. The

matter has been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304.

On August 30, 2005, Plaintiffs filed an application for

appointment of counsel pursuant to this Court’s General Order

230. The application was filed as a sealed document. Upon review

of Plaintiffs’ motion and the documents on file and good cause

appearing therefor, the Court finds as follows:

1) Plaintiff has made substantial efforts to obtain legal

representation and has been unable to do so. Further efforts to

be futile.

2) Plaintiff’s income is 125 percent or less of the current

poverty threshold established by the Office of Management and

Budget of the United States and is otherwise without resources to

obtain counsel;

3) This case is of a type that attorneys in this district

ordinarily do not accept without prepayment of a fee;

4) This case is not a fee-generating case within the meaning

of California Business and Professions Code § 8030.4(g);

5) This case has sufficient merit to warrant appointment

pursuant to General Order No. 230.

Therefore, this Court orders as follows:

1) Catherine Campbell, Carolyn Phillips and Robert Navarro

ARE APPOINTED as attorneys for Plaintiffs pursuant to General

Order No. 230; and

2) The Clerk of the Court NEED NOT send counsel a copy of

the file in this matter; and

3) Counsel SHALL SUBMIT all deposition transcript costs for

payment pursuant to § 8030.6 of the California Business and

Professions Code. All other contemplated costs SHALL BE HANDLED

as described in General Order No. 230.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
