IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRY JAY MEYERS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0241 LKK GGH P

vs.

SHERIFF JIM POPE, et al.,

 ORDER

Defendants.

 /

Following entry of judgment for defendants on September 29, 2006, in this civil

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a civil detainee proceeding pro se,

appealed. By an Order from a Ninth Circuit panel, filed in this court’s case docket on December

16, 2008 (# 79), both the September 2006 Order, granting summary judgment to, and entering

judgment for, the defendants, as well as the September 2004 order, granting defendants’ motion

to dismiss plaintiff’s equal protection claims, have been vacated, and this matter remanded. See

Docket Entry # 79, pp. 2-3. In addition, finding the “complexity of this case” to warrant it, the

Ninth Circuit has “instruct[ed]” this court to appoint counsel for plaintiff. Id., at 3, 6. Therefore,

this court will refer this case to the civil rights panel in this district for their determination as to

whether or not they can seek to be substituted in as counsel for plaintiff.
