The following excerpt is from U.S. v. 30.64 Acres of Land, More or Less, Situated in Klickitat County, State of Wash., 795 F.2d 796 (9th Cir. 1986):
6 Some courts avoid this confusion by issuing a formal "request" to counsel to represent a particular indigent. For an example of such a request, see Bunton v. Englemyre, 557 F.Supp. 1, 5 (E.D.Tenn.1981). See also Chapman v. Kleindienst, 507 F.2d 1246, 1250 (7th Cir.1974) (directing trial judge to "make the necessary request" of an already willing attorney).
