Plaintiff's motion for the Court to try to find pro bono counsel to represent him is denied 4 , with leave to renew after Plaintiff demonstrates that he has made reasonable efforts to find counsel on his own. Plaintiff's motion to attach his grievance to his complaint 6 is granted, to the extent that the grievance has been filed in the docket. This case is now in the process of service.
