June 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION re: #2 Motion for Preliminary Injunction, recommending that the district judge deny Mr. Doiron's motion for preliminary injunctive relief (Doc. No. 2) without prejudice. Follow up on Objections to R&R on 6/22/2021. The court only follow up date DOES NOT include 3 additional days that may apply per FRCP 6(d) and FRCrP 45(c). So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone.(lw)
June 8, 2021 Opinion or Order ENDORSED ORDER denying without prejudice #3 Motion to Appoint Counsel. Text of Order: Plaintiff Arthur Doiron has filed a motion (Doc. No. 3) asking the court to appoint counsel to represent him in this matter, alleging that he has limited access to legal materials, mental health issues, and no formal legal training. Mr. Doiron also asserts that having counsel would prevent prison officers from reading his legal documents and retaliating against him for their content. The difficulties Mr. Doiron faces in litigating this case are of the type typically faced by prisoners engaged in litigation, and Mr. Doiron has failed to demonstrate that exceptional circumstances [are] present such that a denial of counsel [would be] likely to result in fundamental unfairness impinging on his due process rights. DesRosiers v. Moran, 949 F.2d 15, 23 (1st Cir. 1991) (citations omitted). Further, in his filings in this case to date, Mr. Doiron has demonstrated an ability to clearly state his factual assertions and legal arguments. Accordingly, Mr. Doiron's motion for court-appointed counsel (Doc. No. 3) is DENIED without prejudice to his ability to refile a similar motion if changed circumstances warrant such relief in the future. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone.(lw)

No. 4) seeking leave to file a supplement to his initial complaint, to add claims and defendants to this matter. Without comment on the merits of the claims and assertions in the complaint supplement, the motion is GRANTED, and the complaint supplement (Doc.

So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Andrea K. Johnstone.(lw)
