Grayton's two August 18 motions are nearly identical to, if slightly more specific

2 than, his August 14 motions. Because the Court has already granted Grayton leave to 3 proceed IFP, the Court hereby DENIES AS MOOT Grayton's second motion to 4 proceed IFP. (Doc. No. 5.) Because Grayton provides the Court with no new 5 information which would change the result of the August 15 Order denying his motion 6 to appoint counsel, the Court for the same reasons listed in the August 15 Order (herein 7 incorporated by reference) DENIES Grayton's second motion for appointment of 8 counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
