UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHALRES T. DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

C/O KISSINGER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:04-cv-0878 TLN DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 25, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for the 

appointment of counsel. (See Doc. No. 233.) On April 18, 2013, the court found that the 

appointment of counsel was warranted and plaintiff’s request for the appointment of counsel was 

granted and referred to the Court’s Pro Bono Program. (See Doc. No. 247.) On October 7, 2013, 

attorneys Donald Aquinas Lancaster, Jr. and Jeff Dominic Price were selected from the court’s 

pro bono attorney panel to represent plaintiff, and they have accepted that appointment.

In light of the recent appointment of counsel, the court will relieve defendants of the 

obligation filing a pretrial statement in accordance with the court’s September 17, 2013, order. 

(See Doc. No. 261.) In due course, the court will issue a new scheduling order for the filing of 

pretrial statements, pretrial conference, and jury trial before the assigned district judge.
