TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 11/13/2019. Plaintiff filed a Motion to Request Counsel #11 . Plaintiff has no constitutional or statutory right to counsel in this case. In considering the Plaintiff's motion, the court asks: (1) has the indigent Plaintiff made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel or been effectively precluded from doing so; and if so, (2) given the difficulty of the case, does the plaintiff appear competent to litigate it himself? Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff has not yet shown that he made a reasonable attempt to secure counsel on his own. Although Plaintiff states he sent letters to several law firms, he did not attach copies of the letters. Plaintiff states he is still awaiting responses from the law firms, and, in the Court's experience, the law firms Plaintiff wrote typically respond in writing. It appears that Plaintiff's efforts to seek counsel on his own are still ongoing. In addition, Plaintiff has personal knowledge of the facts, this case does not appear overly complex at this time, and, his health issues notwithstanding, Plaintiff should be able to obtain relevant documents via the discovery process. Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of representing himself at this time. Plaintiff's motion #11 is DENIED with leave to renew. (SAG, ilcd)
