Date Filed Document Text
September 11, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER by U.S. Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins. By Text Order dated 8/20/2020, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file additional complete financial information by 9/14/2020 to allow the Court to make a determination regarding Plaintiff's application to proceed without paying fees or costs. Instead, pro se Plaintiff has filed a Motion for a Continuance Extending Time #5 (Motion) which states he is now able to pay the filing fee and requesting additional time to make payment. Plaintiff's Motion #5 is ALLOWED. Plaintiff is granted an extension to 10/15/2020 in which to pay the filing fee in full. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs #2 is DENIED as moot. Plaintiff's Motion to Request Counsel #3 is DENIED. 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 alleged no physical or mental disability that might preclude him from adequately investigating the facts giving rise to his Complaint. The Plaintiff appears capable of presenting his case. The Plaintiff has not shown any attempt to retain counsel. This typically requires writing to several lawyers and attaching the responses. The Court grants pro se litigants wide latitude in the handling of their lawsuits. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 9/11/2020. (MAS, ilcd)
