Dismissal for lack of prosecution was warranted as plaintiff failed to heed repeated orders to submit a narrative statement and to show cause why dismissal would not be appropriate.  The absence of "exceptional circumstances" justified the district court's denial of plaintiff's motions for appointment of counsel under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(d) (1982).    Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1330-31 (9th Cir.1986).  The district court did not abuse its discretion by failing to find voluntary counsel to represent plaintiff.
