April 30, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 4/30/2021. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 1) The Court's Text Order entered April 20, 2021 is VACATED. 2) Plaintiff's Petition to Proceed in forma pauperis #3 is DENIED. Plaintiff shall, within 21 days of this Order, pay the $402.00 filing fee in full. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice. 3) Plaintiff filed a Motion to Request Counsel #4 . 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 she 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. Because Plaintiff has not satisfied the first prong, the Court does not address the second. Plaintiff's motion #4 is denied with leave to renew. (KB)
