ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

APPOINTMENT OF INMATE

ROBLES TO ASSIST PLAINTIFF

Doc. 72

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983. On April 5, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion requesting an order

appointing inmate Marlo Robles to assist plaintiff in all further court proceedings. Inmate Robles,

who is a non-lawyer, may not represent anyone but himself in court. Johns v. County of San Diego,

114 F.3d 874, 877 (9th Cir. 1997); C. E. Pope Equity Trust v. United States, 818 F.2d 696, 697 (9th

Cir. 1987). Therefore, to the extent plaintiff seeks to have inmate Robles appointed as counsel, his

request must be denied. However, a court order is not necessary to allow inmate Robles to

informally assist plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
