UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM E. BROWN,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. E. DUCART, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00603-HSG (PR) 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT; 

DENYING RENEWED REQUEST FOR 

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

Re: Dkt. Nos. 22, 23

Good cause appearing, plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file an amended 

complaint is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file his amended complaint no later than September 30, 

2016.

Plaintiff’s renewed request for appointment of counsel under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 is DENIED 

for lack of exceptional circumstances. See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); 

Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir. 1986). The Court will consider appointment 

of counsel on its own motion, and seek volunteer counsel to agree to represent plaintiff pro bono, 

if it determines at a later time in the proceedings that appointment of counsel is warranted.

This order terminates Docket Nos. 22 and 23.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
