LAURA COLLEEN REDFERN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03883-JSC 

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S AMENDED 

MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS; REFERRING PLAINTIFF 

TO FEDERAL PRO BONO PROJECT 

AND STAYING PROCEEDINGS 

PENDING APPOINTMENT OF 

COUNSEL

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (Dkt. 

No. 16.) The motion is unnecessary as the Court previously granted Plaintiff leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis. (Dkt. No. 3.) Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status continues and she is still 

permitted to proceed with her lawsuit without the payment of the filing fee. 

Further, having considered Plaintiff’s application and Plaintiff’s need for counsel to assist 

her in this matter and good and just cause appearing, the Court ORDERS that plaintiff be referred 

to the Federal Pro Bono Project (“Project”) in the manner set forth below:

A. The clerk shall forward the referral order to the appropriate Project office, San 

Francisco or San Jose, determined by whether the referring judge is located in the 

San Francisco/Oakland or San Jose division. The scope of this referral shall be for:

(X) all purposes for the duration of the case

( ) the limited purpose of representing the litigant in the course of

( ) mediation

( ) early neutral evaluation

( ) settlement conference

( ) briefing ( ) and hearing on the following motion (e.g., motion for

( ) discovery as follows:

B. Upon being notified by the Project that an attorney has been located to represent 

plaintiff, that attorney shall be appointed as counsel for plaintiff in this matter for 

the scope of representation described above. If the appointment of counsel is for 

limited purposes, the Court shall issue an order relieving the volunteer attorney 

from the limited representation of the litigant once those purposes have been 

fulfilled.

C. All proceedings in this action are hereby stayed until four weeks from the date an 

attorney is appointed to represent plaintiff in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
