IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL HUFTILE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0171 GEB KJM P

vs.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY BOARD

OF SUPERVISORS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of

civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court finds that plaintiff’s claims have sufficient merit

and this action is complex enough to warrant the appointment of counsel. Therefore, the court

will appoint counsel, deny defendants’ pending motion to dismiss without prejudice and set this

matter for a status hearing. Both parties shall appear by counsel at the status hearing and be

prepared to discuss how this matter should proceed.
