Filing 17
ORDER denying #15 Motion to Appoint Counsel. A plaintiff in a civil case is not entitled to appointment of counsel on request and the Second Circuit repeatedly cautions against the routine appointment of counsel. See, e.g., Hendricks v. Coughlin, 114 F.3d 390, 393 (2d Cir. 1997); Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1989). Insofar as volunteer lawyer time is not always readily available, a plaintiff seeking appointment of counsel must show first that he sought counsel and has been unable to obtain it. McDonald v. Head Criminal Court Supervisor Officer, 850 F.2d 121, 123 (2d Cir. 1988). Once a plaintiff has made this showing, he must then demonstrate that his complaint passes the test of likely merit. Cooper, 877 F.2d at 173. He must demonstrate that the claims in the complaint have a sufficient basis to justify appointing a volunteer lawyer to pursue them. Notably, even where a claim is not frivolous, counsel is often unwarranted where the [plaintiffs] chances of success are extremely slim. Id. at 171. Here, Plaintiff makes no showing as to any efforts to secure counsel. In addition, at this juncture, based solely upon the pleadings filed, the court cannot ascertain whether the Plaintiff's claims have likely merit. The Motion for Appointment of Counsel is therefore denied without prejudice should the facts that develop through the litigation permit reassessment of this issue and Plaintiff can demonstrate that efforts to secure counsel have proven unsuccessful. Signed by Judge Kari A. Dooley on 8/7/19. (Dooley, Kari)
