UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DARRYL L. HUBBARD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

C.D. HOUGLAND, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:09-cv-0939 TLN AC P 

ORDER APPOINTING COUNSEL 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The dispositive motion filing deadline expired on 

May 2, 2015. ECF No. 152. The court ordered the parties to participate in a settlement 

conference that was ultimately unsuccessful (ECF Nos. 155, 158), and this case will now proceed 

to trial. A further order setting pretrial and trial deadlines will issue at a later date. The court 

finds that it would be benefited by the appointment of counsel for plaintiff as this case proceeds to 

trial. The law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon has been selected from the court’s pro bono 

attorney panel to represent plaintiff and has agreed to be appointed. Plaintiff shall be represented 

by Amir Nassihi, Joan Camagong, and Alicia Donahue. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Amir Nassihi, Joan Camagong, and Alicia Donahue of Shook, Hardy & Bacon are 

appointed as counsel in the above entitled matter for the purpose of pursing this action on
