ORDER by Magistrate Judge Susan Prose on 06/04/2026. Regarding Plaintiff's #11 Motion to Appoint Pro Bono Counsel, #12 Motion to Request this Court to Relief Him from Sending Hard Copies of Each and Every Pleading, and all related briefing.Upon review of the Motion and the docket in this case, this court cannot conclude that appointment of counsel is warranted at this time. The court does not find that the legal issues presented in Plaintiff's claims are so uniquely complex as to justify appointed counsel. "[T]he right to counsel in a civil case is not a matter of constitutional right under the Sixth Amendment." MacCuish v. United States, 844 F.2d 733, 735 (10th Cir. 1988). Further, it is too early for this court to assess the merit of Plaintiff's claims, which is one of the factors that the court is to consider under the local rule establishing the pro bono program, D.C.COLO.LAttyR 15. Thus, Plaintiff's #11 Motion to Appoint Counsel is DENIED without prejudice to refiling after Plaintiff's case moves forward. For the reasons articulated in Defendant's Response to Plaintiff's motion regarding service of pleadings (ECF No. #12 ), the relief requested is GRANTED. Defendant will receive electronic service of any document submitted by Plaintiff upon entry of same by the Clerk's Office.Objections to this order are due within fourteen days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record. Text Only Entry(sjeff)
