Filing 16
ORDER denying #14 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 does not indicate whether he has made any effort to obtain counsel. Nor, at this stage of the proceedings can the court determine whether his case has "likely merit." The court notes that the Plaintiff seeks appointment of counsel for settlement purposes only, but this request is also premature as there is no indication that the Defendants agree that a settlement conference would be a productive endeavor. The motion is denied without prejudice. Signed by Judge Kari A. Dooley on 12/20/19. (Dooley, Kari)
