 This action is referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1

§ 636(b)(1)(B), Local General Order No. 262, and E.D. Cal. L.R. (“Local Rule”) 302.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DELBERT CHRISTOPHER, 

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-3584-KJN P

vs.

DEPUTY VANG,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was reassigned to the undersigned on February 9,

2010. Service of the complaint was thereafter ordered (Dkt. No. 12), and defendant has filed an

1

answer (Dkt. No. 17). The court subsequently found that appointment of counsel for plaintiff is 

warranted. See Order filed March 2, 1010 (Docket No. 15). The court also found that

“[a]ppointed counsel would be tasked with setting forth the pertinent facts and legal claims in an

amended complaint pursuant to appropriate motion.” (Id. at 3, n. 5.) 

Randall Haimovici has now been selected by random draw from the court’s pro

bono attorney panel to represent plaintiff.
