September 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER denying, without prejudice, #3 Motion to Appoint Counsel. The Second Circuit has cautioned the district courts against the routine appointment of counsel and has reiterated the importance of requiring an indigent plaintiff to demonstrate the likely merit of her claims before counsel is appointed. See, e.g., Ferrelli v. River Manor Health Care Ctr., 323 F.3d 196, 203-04 (2d Cir. 2003); Henricks v. Coughlin, 114 F.3d 390, 393 (2d Cir. 1997). For reasons stated in the Courts Recommended Ruling, at this time, the allegations of the Complaint, even construed liberally, fail to make a threshold showing of some likelihood of merit. See generally Doc. #11 . Therefore, the Motion to Counsel (Doc. #3 ) is DENIED, without prejudice.It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/14/2021. (Katz, S.)
September 14, 2021 Filing 11 RECOMMENDED RULING. For the reasons set forth in the attached recommended ruling, the Court recommends that the #1 Complaint be DISMISSED, without prejudice to re-filing. If plaintiff wishes to pursue her claims, she must file an amended complaint on or before September 28, 2021.Any objections to this recommended ruling must be filed on or before September 28, 2021. Failure to file an objection by this deadline will preclude appellate review. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/14/2021. (Katz, S.)
September 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER granting #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has filed a motion seeking to proceed without payment of fees and costs, which motion includes a sworn statement as to plaintiff's current financial circumstances. See Doc. #2 . Plaintiff has completed the required information. Plaintiff asserts that she is unable to afford to pay fees and costs, having no income, no assets and outstanding debt. See generally id. at 3-5. At this stage, such allegations are sufficient to establish that plaintiff is unable to pay the ordinary filing fees required by the Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). Accordingly, plaintiff's #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/14/2021. (Katz, S.)
