February 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER APPOINTING PRO BONO COUNSEL pursuant to D.C.COLO.LAttyR 15(e)(1), I find it is appropriate to appoint counsel from the Civil Pro Bono Panel for Plaintiff in this case. Plaintiff filed his Complaint as a pro se prisoner and is unable to retain an attorney by other means.

Although the Clerk will immediately begin the process of selecting counsel, Plaintiff is advised that, if counsel is not found or until counsel enters an appearance, he remains responsible for all scheduled matters.
