TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 11/7/2019. 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. Although Plaintiff states he wrote several lawyers, he did not attach any exhibits 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)

| Filing 7 +++ PRISONER TRUST FUND LEDGER. (SAG, ilcd) |

TEXT ORDER: This Court has instituted a reduced payment procedure for indigent plaintiffs who are institutionalized but who are not prisoners as defined in 28 USC Section 1915(h). A reduced payment is assessed of 50% of such plaintiff's average monthly income for the six months preceding the filing of the complaint (not to exceed the $400 filing fee). Income includes all deposits from any source. The plaintiff Jerry L. Gates is currently detained at Rushville Treatment and Detention Facility, and is thus subject to the reduced payment procedure. However, the plaintiff's ledgers for the past six months show an average monthly income of $1.00 or less. No reduced filing fee will be assessed. Entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 10/11/2019.
