No. C 13-00714 WHA (PR)

SECOND ORDER

REFERRING CASE TO

FEDERAL PRO BONO

PROJECT AND ORDER 

RE DEADLINE

This order follows the May 7 case management conference. 

1. Defendants have until JUNE 4 AT NOON, to file their summary judgment motion.

2. Pro bono counsel Thomas Weathers stated that he wishes to be relieved as

appointed pro bono counsel. Attorney Weathers shall please file a formal motion to withdraw by

MAY 13, 2015. Civil L. R. 11-5(a).

3. In light of the upcoming withdrawal, for good and just cause appearing, plaintiff

is hereby referred to the Federal Pro Bono Project for location of pro bono counsel. If and when

pro bono counsel are appointed, the undersigned judge would grant a four-week extension of the

deadline to respond to defendants’ summary judgment motion. Again, defendants’ motion is due

by JUNE 4 AT NOON (no extensions). The undersigned judge would also consider a reasonable

motion to extend or to continue deadlines (where good cause is shown) brought by new

appointed pro bono counsel.

4. Plaintiff, however, is hereby put on notice that if the Federal Pro Bono Project is

unsuccessful in locating pro bono counsel, plaintiff must be prepared to respond to defendants’

motion for summary judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 8, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP
