MINUTE ORDER by Magistrate Judge Susan Prose on 12/13/2023, DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE the #18 Motion for Appointment of Counsel. At this time, having considered the factors set forth in Rucks v. Boergermann, 57 F.3d 978, 979 (10th Cir. 1995), the court finds that the appointment of counsel is unwarranted presently, and denies the instant Motion as premature. Discovery has not yet commenced, and the court finds that the legal issues and facts presented are not uniquely complex such that counsel is warranted. Should the circumstances change as this case progresses, Plaintiff may renew her request for appointment of counsel at a later date. See McCullon v. Parry, No. 18-cv-00469-NYW, 2019 WL 4645436, at *5 (D. Colo. Sept. 24, 2019) (appointing pro bono counsel under the factors of D.C.COLO.LAttyR 15(f)(1)(B)(i)-(iv) "given that this matter is now moving to trial"). Any objections to this order must be filed and served by 12/27/2023, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72. Text Only Entry (sbplc3)
