FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNARD LEE DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

JAMES WALKER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:10-cv-2139 KJM CKD P

2016, plaintiff was appointed a pro bono attorney, Brian Pomerantz, to represent him in this 

matter.1 (ECF No. 104.) Since then, plaintiff has filed several pro se motions. (ECF Nos. 107, 

113, 118, 119, 116 & 117; see also ECF No. 120.)

Mr. Pomerantz recently filed a motion to withdraw as plaintiff’s attorney. (ECF No. 115.) 

The court has yet to rule on that motion and, to date, plaintiff continues to be represented by 

counsel. See L.R. 182(d) (“The authority and duty of the attorney of record shall continue until

to renewal, either through counsel or at such time as plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Any
