UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAUL CERVANTES,

Plaintiff,

v.

SERGEANT WILLIAMSON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-2138 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action, has again requested 

appointment of counsel. As the court stated previously, plaintiff must show exceptional 

circumstances to warrant the court’s request for voluntary counsel.1 Plaintiff presents nothing 

new that would establish exceptional circumstances. For the reasons stated in the court’s August 

29, 2016 order, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s current motion for appointment of 

counsel (ECF No. 32 ) is denied. 

DATED: September 7, 2016 /s/ DEBORAH BARNES

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

cerv2138.31(2)

 1 The court recognizes that plaintiff did not receive a copy of the court’s August 29, 2016 order 

denying his prior motion for appointment of counsel before he mailed the current motion, dated 

August 28, to the court.
