IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RENO RIOS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S 04-2349 FCD DAD P

vs.

CHIEF DIRECTOR FOR THE 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action. By

order filed January 5, 2006, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff

has requested an extension of time to file to file an amended complaint. Good cause appearing,

the request will be granted.

Plaintiff has also filed a second request for appointment of counsel. Plaintiff’s

first request was denied in the January 5, 2006 order dismissing plaintiff’s complaint with leave

to amend. Plaintiff’s second request fails to demonstrate that exceptional circumstances are

present in this case. See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); Wood v.

Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335-36 (9th Cir. 1990). The second request for appointment of

counsel will therefore be denied.
