January 31, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER Entered by Magistrate Judge Eric I. Long on 1/31/20. Plaintiff's Motion to Continue #13 is GRANTED. The Rule 16 Scheduling Conference set for 2/12/20 is RESCHEDULED to 3/11/20 at 10:00 AM. The Court will initiate the call. No further extensions will be granted. Plaintiff's Motion for Counsel #14 is DENIED for the reason noted in the Court's prior Order #10 . Considering all available evidence of Plaintiff's abilities, this case does not exceed Plaintiff's capacity to present it. See Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). The case does not involve overly complex questions of law or fact. Plaintiff appears more than capable of presenting the case, given she is a college graduate. The Court may reconsider its ruling if this case proceeds to trial. (SKR, ilcd)
