FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MEL TYRONE EDWARD,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-02584 ALA P

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On August 13, 2007, this court requested that Ms. Nora Cregan or Ms. Hilarie

Lieber, from the law firm of Bingham McCutchen LLP, contact this court to determine if either

could represent Plaintiff in the pending trial. The court has received notice that neither counsel

is able to undertake the representation. Further, the court is unable to locate any other attorneys

willing to undertake the representation. As such, Plaintiff must proceed in this matter without

counsel. With the matter of appointment of counsel resolved, the court will now order the

parties to file their pretrial statements. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff will proceed in this matter without appointed counsel; and

2. Plaintiff shall file and serve his pretrial statement and any motions necessary

to obtain the attendance of witnesses at trial on or before October 15, 2007. Defendants shall file
