September 20, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 27 EO: On September 15, 2022, Defendant Jackson filed a #23 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and for the Appointment of Counsel for Jamey Denise Jackson ("09/15/2022 Motion"). On September 19, 2022, the Court issued an 24 entering order denying the 09/15/2022 Motion ("09/19/2022 EO"). That same day, Defendant Jackson filed an #26 Amended Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and for the Appointment of Counsel for Jamey Denise Jackson ("Amended Motion"). The Court has reviewed the Amended Motion and finds that it does not present exceptional circumstances to warrant appointment of pro bono counsel or otherwise alter the Court's analysis in the 09/19/2022 EO. The Court thus DENIES the #26 Amended Motion. IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed by MAGISTRATE JUDGE KENNETH J. MANSFIELD on 09/20/2022.

September 19, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 25 First MOTION for Extension of Time to Amend #15 Answer to Complaint Caroline Elliot appearing for Defendants Curtiss Edward Jackson, Semisub, Inc. (Elliot, Caroline)
September 19, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 24 EO: On September 15, 2022, Defendant Jamey Denise Jackson ("Defendant Jackson") filed a #23 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and for the Appointment of Counsel for Defendant Jamey Denise Jackson ("Motion"). Defendant Jackson asks the Court to appoint her pro bono counsel.There is no constitutional right to counsel in a civil case. See Lassiter v. Dept of Soc. Serv., 452 U.S. 18, 25 (1981). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(1), a district court has discretion to request an attorney to represent an indigent litigant in "exceptional circumstances." See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); see also Jenkins v. Perry, 592 Fed. Appx. 597, 598 (9th Cir. 2015) (reviewing district court's denial of appointment of counsel for abuse of discretion). After carefully reviewing the record in this case, the Court finds that exceptional circumstances do not exist at this time to warrant appointment of pro bono counsel to Defendant Jackson under 1915(e)(1). There is nothing in the record demonstrating that Defendant Jackson is likely to prevail on the merits. In addition, Defendant Jackson's filings indicate that she is able to articulate her arguments and defenses at this early stage in the litigation. The Court thus DENIES the Motion. IT IS SO ORDERED.
