MERIT REVIEW ORDER Entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 3/25/24. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 1) Plaintiff's complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and 28 U.S.C. 1915A. Plaintiff shall have 30 days from the entry of this order to file an amended complaint. Failure to file an amended complaint will result in the dismissal of this case, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff's amended complaint will replace Plaintiff's original complaint in its entirety. The amended complaint must contain all allegations against all Defendants. Piecemeal amendments are not accepted. 2) Clerk is directed to send Plaintiff a blank complaint form. 3) Plaintiff has 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). The Court finds that Plaintiff has satisfied the first prong. As for the second prong, Plaintiff indicates that he is a high school graduate and provides no specific reasons why he cannot litigate the case himself at this time. The Court finds that Plaintiff can adequately represent himself at this time. Plaintiff is personally aware of the facts of this case and has so far presented his claims clearly. Moreover, the case does not appear overly complex at this stage. Accordingly, Plaintiffs motion #5 is DENIED with leave to renew. If Plaintiff renews his motion, he should set forth how far he has gone in school, any jobs he has held inside and outside of prison, any classes he has taken in prison, and any prior litigation experience he has. SEE FULL WRITTEN ORDER. (ANW)
