October 13, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 24 EO: On October 12, 2022, Plaintiff filed a #23 Statement in Response to the Court's #22 Order Denying Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel without Prejudice. Although unclear what relief, if any, Plaintiff is requesting, to the extent Plaintiff's Statement can be construed as a motion requesting reconsideration of that Order, it is DENIED. The Court notes that the "Order Striking Filing and Denying Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement, Dismiss Complaint, and File Settlement Agreement Under Seal," which is attached to Plaintiff's Statement and relates to an action between the parties in a different tribunal, is dated October 4, 2022, i.e., after the Defendant filed the documents referenced in the Court's prior Order wherein Defendant claimed that matter had settled and the claims in this action were released. See ECF Nos. 15, 16. Even assuming that matter has not been settled and the claims in this action have not been released, the Court would nonetheless deny Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel at this time for the reasons previously stated, including that the likely merits of this action cannot be assessed at this early juncture, Plaintiff has demonstrated he is capable of presenting his claims and following procedural rules, Plaintiff has not yet shown a reasonably diligent effort to secure counsel, and because the other reasons provided by Plaintiff in support of his request for counsel do not justify appointment of counsel at this time.
