FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HIPOLITO M. CHACOAN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-2276 FCD GGH P

vs.

DR. ROHRER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Upon review of plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel and the documents

on file and good cause appearing therefor, the court finds as follows:

 Efforts to obtain legal representation without order of this court would be futile;

1. Plaintiff's income is 125 percent or less of the current poverty threshold

established by the Office of Management and Budget of the United States and is otherwise

without resources to obtain counsel;

2. This case is of a type that attorneys in this district ordinarily do not accept

without prepayment of a fee;

3. This case is not a fee generating case within the meaning of California Business

and Professions Code § 8030.4(g); and

4. This case has sufficient merit to warrant appointment pursuant to General
