UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEWAYNE WASHINGTON

Plaintiff,

vs.

J. TURNER, ET AL., 

Defendants.

No. 2:01-cv-01677-JKS

ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL

Discovery in this matter is closed, all dispositive motions have been decided, and it is

currently set for a one-week trial by jury commencing September 24, 2007.

Upon review of documents on file and good cause appearing, the court finds as follows:

1. Efforts to obtain legal representation for plaintiff without order of this court would be

futile;

2. Plaintiff's income is 125 percent or less of the current poverty threshold established by

the Office of Management and Budget of the United States and is otherwise without resources to

obtain counsel;

3. This case is of a type that attorneys in this district ordinarily do not accept without

prepayment of a fee;

4. This case is not a fee generating case within the meaning of California Business and

Professions Code § 8030.4(g); and

5. This case has sufficient merit to warrant appointment pursuant to General Order No.

230.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

1. Andrew W. Stroud, Mennemeier, Glassman & Stroud, 980 9th Street, Suite 1700,

Sacramento, CA 95814, Tel: 916-551-2590, e-mail stroud@mgslaw.com, is appointed as

attorney for plaintiff pursuant to General Order No. 230;
