UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRYL ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. CORTEZ,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01186-MJS (PC) 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERTION OF ORDER DENYING 

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL 

(ECF No. 18)

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s April 13, 2016, motion for reconsideration (ECF No. 

18) of the Court’s March 29, 2016, order denying Plaintiff’s request for appointment of 

counsel. (ECF No. 17.) 

The Court has considered Plaintiff’s attached documentation describing his 

hearing impairment and his limited education. While the Court remains sympathetic to 

Plaintiff’s situation, it does not find that Plaintiff’s situation is exceptional. Rand v. 

Rowland, 113 F.3d 1520, 1525 (9th Cir. 1997). 

Plaintiff has presented no new fact or citation to authority that would justify 

reconsideration of the Court’s March 29, 2016, Order. Plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration of his request for appointment of counsel will be DENIED without 

prejudice.

The Court may reevaluate the propriety of appointing counsel if and as Plaintiff’s 

case proceeds closer to trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
