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.
