UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD B. POWERS,

Plaintiff,

v.

AT&T, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01024-JSC 

ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL

Because Plaintiff Richard B. Powers (“Plaintiff”) expressed a need for counsel to assist 

him in this matter and a volunteer attorney is willing to be appointed to undertake this 

representation at the request of the Federal Pro Bono Project, Howard Golds and Benjamin Lee of 

Best Best & Krieger are appointed as counsel for Plaintiff in this matter. The Clerk shall amend 

the docket to reflect their contact information as follows: Howard Golds, Best Best & Krieger, 

3390 University Ave, 5th Floor, Riverside, CA 92501, and Benjamin Lee, Best Best & Krieger, 

2001 North Main Street #390, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.

The scope of this referral shall be for the limited purpose of representing the litigant in the 

course of a settlement conference. The Court will maintain the schedule set forth in its Order 

granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss; however, should newly-appointed Plaintiff’s counsel 

need more time for the settlement conference, the parties shall meet and confer to stipulate to a 

new deadline for the settlement conference and a new case management conference date. 

Counsel shall be familiar with General Order No. 25 and the Federal Pro Bono Project 

Guidelines posted on the Court’s website.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 22, 2015
