January 31, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 22 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: For the foregoing reasons, the Clerk of Court is directed to attempt to locate pro bono counsel to represent the plaintiff for the limited purposes described above. The Court advises the plaintiff that there are no fund s to retain counsel in civil cases and the Court relies on volunteers. Due to a scarcity of volunteer attorneys, a lengthy period of time may pass before counsel volunteers to represent the plaintiff. If an attorney volunteers, the attorney will cont act the plaintiff directly. There is no guarantee, however, that a volunteer attorney will decide to take the case, and the plaintiff should be prepared to proceed with the case without an attorney. If the plaintiff does not want the Court to seek co unsel to represent her, she must inform the Court by February 9, 2018. If the plaintiff does want a volunteer attorney to represent her, the Court requests that she so inform it immediately, so that the case can move forward. The Court certifies unde r 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John G. Koeltl on 1/30/2017) (mml)
