| Filing 9 EO: On 3/27/2024, pro se Plaintiff Paul Gantt filed a [ECF #6 ] Request for Additional Time ("Request"). Plaintiff requests additional time to "put all of [his] 8 civil cases together" but does not specify exactly what deadline he seeks to extend. The Request also seeks the appointment of pro bono counsel; however, Plaintiff does not explain the circumstances of such a request nor does Plaintiff provide any support for his request. Because the Court is unable to determine what deadline Plaintiff seeks to extend, the Court DENIES the Request without prejudice.The Court also DENIES the request to appoint pro bono counsel. There are several factors a Court considers when determining whether to appoint pro bono counsel: (1) Plaintiff's financial resources; (2) efforts made by Plaintiff to secure his own counsel; (3) the merits of Plaintiff's claim; and (4) whether exceptional circumstances exists to appoint pro bono counsel. Johnson v. U.S. Treasury Dept., 27 F.3d 415, 416-17 (9th Cir. 1994) (citation omitted); Alston v. Foster, 651 Fed. Appx. 574, 575 (9th Cir. 2016). Plaintiff has not provided any information regarding these factors. Accordingly, the Court is unable to determine whether the appointment of pro bono counsel is appropriate and thus DENIES the request for pro bono counsel. The Court notes that Plaintiff had initially submitted the Request for filing without identifying a case name or number. The Clerk's Office therefore filed the Request in a total of eight different pending cases where Plaintiff is the litigant. In the future, Plaintiff shall make a separate request for relief un each case in which relief is sought, and each request must indicate the case name and case number. Plaintiff may not list more than one case name and number on a filing.
