August 20, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MERIT REVIEW AND CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 8/20/2021. Pursuant to its merit review of the Complaint under 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915A, the court finds that the plaintiff states an Eighth Amendment claim for deliberate indifference to a serious medical need against the named defendants. Any additional claims shall not be included in the case, except at the court's discretion on motion by a party for good cause shown or pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15. The clerk is directed to enter the standard qualified protective order pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The clerk is directed to attempt service on the named defendants pursuant to the standard procedures. Plaintiff filed two Motions to Request Counsel #4 #7 . 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 satisfied the first prong. Plaintiff indicates that he has completed some high school, he has personal knowledge of the facts, he has been able to adequately communicate them to the Court, and he should be able to obtain relevant documents via the discovery process. This case does not appear overly complex at this time, and the Court does not currently have enough information to determine whether this case will require expert testimony. The Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of representing himself at this time. Plaintiff's motions #4 #7 are DENIED with leave to renew. See written order. (KE)
