| Filing 8 TEXT ONLY ORDER denying #7 Motion to Appoint Counsel. A civil litigant does not have a constitutional or statutory right to appointed counsel in a civil action, but the Court may appoint counsel at its discretion. 28 U.S.C. s. 1915(e)(1). The Court has considered the need for an attorney, the likelihood that Plaintiff will benefit from assistance of counsel, the factual and legal complexity of the case, and whether Plaintiff has the ability to investigate and present this case. In considering these factors, the Court finds that the claims do not appear legally or factually complex, and Plaintiff is adequately prosecuting this case at this time. The Court finds Plaintiff is capable of prosecuting his claims without appointed counsel at this time. Currently, Plaintiff has been directed to submit an amended complaint specifically describing his claims against Defendant Dr. Hopson. The Court is not persuaded that counsel is necessary to assist him in describing claims that are within his own personal knowledge. At a later stage in the case, Plaintiff may again request appointment of counsel if Plaintiff believes the circumstances justify such an appointment. Signed by Honorable Barry A Bryant on April 7, 2023.(ksb) |
