Mechanism for Requesting Volunteer Attorney

When the court makes a determination that a request for a volunteer attorney is appropriate, it shall conditionally grant the motion for the appointment of counsel. The court shall in its order direct that a copy of the order be sent to the pro bono chair of the Middle District Chapter of the Federal Bar Association and shall direct that the court be informed in due course by the pro bono chair whether a volunteer attorney will enter his or her appearance or, in the alternative, that no volunteer attorney accepts the appointment.
