TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 7/19/2019. Plaintiff filed a Motion to Request Counsel #5 . 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 shown that he made a reasonable effort to obtain counsel on his own. A plaintiff usually does this by attaching copies of letters sent to attorneys seeking representation and copies of any responses received. Plaintiff indicates he wrote 3 attorneys, but he did not identify them or attach copies of letters to his motion. Because Plaintiff has not satisfied the first prong, the Court does not address the second. Plaintiff's motion #5 is DENIED with leave to renew. (SAG, ilcd)
