IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUIS VEGA,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-1977 KJM P

vs.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

follows:

 Efforts to obtain legal representation for plaintiff without order of this court

would be futile:

1. 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 plaintiff is

otherwise without resources to obtain counsel;

2. This case is of a type that attorneys in this district ordinarily do not accept

without prepayment of a fee;

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

and Professions Code § 8030.4(g); and

4. This case has sufficient merit to warrant appointment pursuant to General

Order No. 230.

Therefore, this court orders as follows:

1. Mary Beth Moylan and certified law student Zebulon Young are appointed as

attorneys for plaintiff pursuant to General Order No. 230;

2. Counsel are directed to contact the Clerk's Office to make arrangements for

copies of the file; and 

3. All other contemplated costs shall be handled as described in General Order

No. 230.

DATED: December 15, 2006.
