MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Nagelmaker v. Pomozal, No. 2:12-cv-1924 EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2012):
(9th Cir. 1990). When determining whether "exceptional circumstances" exist, the court must consider the likelihood of success on the merits as well as the ability of the plaintiff to articulate his claims pro se in light of the complexity of the legal issues involved. Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009). Having considered those factors, the court finds there are no exceptional circumstances in this case.
