IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD C. BACHMAN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1735 LKK PAN P

vs.

J. KUHN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was dismissed on December 2, 2004 and judgment was entered on

the same day. On December 13, 2004, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal from the judgment

entered in this action and the matter is now pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit. Since dismissal, plaintiff has filed three motions for appointment of counsel. 

After review of the record herein, this court does not find the exceptional circumstances that

might support a request from the court for voluntary assistance of counsel to assist plaintiff. Cf.

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1); Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); Wood v.

Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335-36 (9th Cir. 1990). Plaintiff’s motions will be denied without

prejudice to their renewal, as appropriate, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth

Circuit.
