NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SHANNON O. MURPHY, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

OFFICE OF THE U.S. SENATOR, KAMALA 

HARRIS, 

Defendant.

CASE NO. 19-cv-00076-YGR 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY 

REPRESENTATION

Re: Dkt. No. 17 

On April 5, 2019 Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim issued a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 

No. 14) recommending dismissal of plaintiff’s amended complaint without prejudice (“R&R”). 

(Dkt. No. 11.) No party filed a timely objection, and on May 6, 2019, this Court adopted the R&R 

and dismissed plaintiff’s action without prejudice for failure to state a plausible claim on which 

relief may be granted. (Dkt. No. 16.) That same day, the Court has received plaintiff’s “demand 

[for] attorney representation[.]” (Dkt. No. 17.) Having dismissed plaintiff’s complaint, and there 

being no right to counsel in a civil matter, the Court DENIES plaintiff’s request for representation 

by an attorney. United States v. 30.64 Acres of Land, 795 F.2d 796, 801 (9th Cir. 1986) (“There is 

normally . . . no constitutional right to counsel in a civil case.”). 

This Order terminates Docket Number 17. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
