United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VINCENT KEITH BELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEN LEE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-05820-SI 

ORDER REFERRING PLAINTIFF TO 

FEDERAL PRO BONO PROJECT

Several months ago, this action was referred to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program so 

the parties could explore the possibility of resolving the action without need for trial. A settlement 

conference was held, but the parties did not settle. It thus appears that a trial will be needed. The 

plaintiff being in need of counsel to assist him in this matter, and good and just cause appearing, 

plaintiff is referred to the Federal Pro Bono Project in the manner set forth below so that an 

attorney may be located for him:

(1) The clerk shall forward to the Federal Pro Bono Project: (a) a copy of this order, 

and (b) a memorandum outlining the facts and procedural posture of the action.

(2) Upon an attorney being located to represent plaintiff, that attorney shall be 

appointed as counsel for plaintiff in this matter until further order of the court.

(3) All proceedings in this action are stayed until four weeks from the date an attorney 

is appointed to represent plaintiff in this action or further order of the court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 12, 2016
