UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 TERREL HOLMES, Case No. 1:20-cv-00737-ADA-HBK (PC) Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

v. (Doc. No. 37) M. MUELLER, Defendant. 16 Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s renewed motion for appointment of counsel filed on August 29, 2023. (Doc. No. 37). Plaintiff, a state prisoner, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis on his First Amended Complaint as screened, seeks appointment counsel because he is indigent and has limited access to the law library. (Doc. No. 37 at 1-2). Plaintiff believes his claims are complex and counsel would be better able to present testimony and evidence. (Id. at 2).
