ORDER REFERRING LITIGANT TO THE
FEDERAL PRO BONO PROJECT/FLASH
FOR PRO BONO COUNSEL, STAYING
THE PROCEEDINGS AND APPOINTING
PRO BONO COUNSEL
Defendant Lien Phuong D. Nguyen, an unrepresented pro se party in this case, has requested and is in need of counsel to assist in this matter. The FLASH program has reviewed and screened Ms. Nguyen for compliance with the requirements for appointed counsel of the Federal Pro Bono Project.
FLASH has determined that Ms. Nguyen, a pro se party to this action, has unsuccessfully tried to obtain private counsel, is unable to afford private counsel, and meets the income qualifications of the Federal Pro Bono Project for appointed counsel.
Furthermore, FLASH obtained private counsel willing and able to represent Ms. Nguyen, for full scope pro bono representation.
Good and just cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Lien Phuong D. Nguyen is referred to FLASH for appointment of pro bono counsel, and that pro bono counsel is hereby appointed, as provided below:
1. Because Defendant Lien Phuong D. Nguyen has requested, and is in need of counsel to assist in this matter, and a volunteer attorney is willing to be appointed to undertake this representation at the request of FLASH, Sayuri Sharper is hereby appointed as counsel for Defendant Lien Phuong D. Nguyen in this matter.
2. All proceedings in this action are hereby stayed four weeks from today's date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
