| Filing 4 REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF SERVICE and Notice of Lawsuit sent to Burlington Coat Factory on 10/21/2021. (SKN) |
TEXT ORDER entered 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 . For good cause shown, motion ALLOWED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send notice of lawsuit waiver of service forms to the Defendant at the address provided by Plaintiff along with a copy of the Complaint, two copies of the waiver form, and a prepaid envelope to return the form by first class mail to the Clerk. If the Defendant fails to sign and return a waiver within 30 days from the date said forms were sent, the Court will direct personal service by the U.S. Marshal at the Defendant's expense. 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 appears capable of presenting his case and 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 by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 10/21/2021. (SKN)
