November 2, 2010
ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Upon review of the documents on file and good cause appearing therefor, the court finds as follows:
1. Efforts to obtain legal representation for plaintiff without order of this court would be futile;
2. Plaintiff's income is 125 percent or less of the current poverty threshold established by the Office of Management and Budget of the United States and plaintiff is otherwise without resources to obtain counsel;
3. This case is of a type that attorneys in this district ordinarily do not accept without prepayment of a fee;
4. This case is not a fee generating case within the meaning of California Business and Professions Code § 8030.4(g); and
5. This case has sufficient merit to warrant appointment of counsel as provided by this court's General Order No. 230.
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. This case is referred to the prisoner civil rights pro bono panel administrator, Sujean Park, for appointment of counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on Sujean Park.
2. Plaintiff will be informed as soon as counsel is appointed.
DATED: November 1, 2010.
