| TEXT ORDER by U.S. Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins:Before the Court is the pro se Plaintiff's Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs #2 and Plaintiff's Trust Fund Ledger #5 . For good cause shown, motion ALLOWED. The Court finds that Plaintiff is not currently capable of paying the full filing fee. The Clerk is directed to assess fee under the standard procedures for a prisoner case. Clerk is directed to prepare Summons and Marshal's Form USM 285 for service of Complaint on Defendants by U.S. Marshal's Office. Also before the Court is pro se Plaintiff's Motion to Request Counsel #3 . The Court notes that civil litigants have no constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court. Zarnes v. Rhodes, 64 F.3d 285, 288 (7th Cir., 1995). The decision to appoint counsel lies within the broad discretion of the Court. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1071 (7th Cir., 1992). The Court concludes that appointment of counsel is not warranted in this case at this time. The Plaintiff has not shown any attempt to retain counsel. The Court grants pro se litigants wide latitude in the handling of their lawsuits. Therefore, Plaintiff's Motion to Request Counsel #3 is DENIED. Entered on 5/17/2019. (GL, ilcd) |
