UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC WHEELER,

Plaintiff,

v.

BYRON MUI,

Defendant.

No. 1:12-cv-00861-DAD-DLB

ORDER RETURNING DOCUMENTS 

LODGED WITH THE CLERK OF THE 

COURT

Plaintiff Eric Wheeler, a state prisoner, commenced this civil rights action pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1983, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. On February 8, 2016, at the telephonic 

trial confirmation hearing, the court found that the appointment of counsel was warranted in this 

case and inquired whether plaintiff would accept appointed counsel. (Doc. No. 263.) Plaintiff 

indicated he would. (Id.) Accordingly, on February 23, 2016, the court appointed attorneys 

Mordecai D. Boone and Daniel H. Solomon of Dentons US, LLP to represent plaintiff pro bono. 

(Doc. No. 272.)

Thereafter, on March 10, 2016, plaintiff Wheeler attempted to lodge with the court a table 

of trial exhibits.1 Plaintiff is advised that he is no longer proceeding pro se in this action but

Plaintiff has also filed other documents with the court following the appointment of pro bono 

counsel on his behalf. (See Doc. Nos. 276, 277,281, 283 and 284.) The court will disregard and 

further filing by plaintiff on his own behalf.

rather is now represented by counsel. Consequently, any filings with the court must now be done 

so electronically by and through his attorneys. See Local Rule 133(a) (“Unless excused by the 

Court or by the electronic filing procedures set forth in these Rules, attorneys shall file all 

documents electronically pursuant to those Rules.”) (emphasis added). 

Accordingly, the court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to return plaintiff’s a table of trial 

exhibits and further advises that plaintiff consult with his attorneys regarding any future 

documents he wishes them to file with the court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
