IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BARRY DEWAYNE WOODS,

Plaintiff, 

 v.

J. LOPEZ, et al., 

Defendant. /

No. C 15-5010 WHA (PR) 

ORDER DENYING

RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION

FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

(Dkt. No. 38)

Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action under 42

U.S.C. 1983. He was denied appointment of counsel which he would now like reconsidered. 

His motion was denied because there is no power to make a coercive “appointment” of counsel

in a civil case and plaintiff has demonstrated that he is more than capable of pursuing his claims

on his own. These circumstances have not changed. The motion for reconsideration of

appointment of counsel is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 24 , 2017.
