May 29, 2020 Filing 11 MOTION (in letter form) to Request Counsel by Plaintiff Lester Mixon. Responses due by 6/12/2020 (ED, ilcd)
May 29, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 5/29/2020. Plaintiff filed a Motion to Request Counsel #11 . 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 satisfied the first prong. Plaintiff has personal knowledge of the facts, he has been able to adequately communicate them to the Court, and he should be able to obtain relevant documents via the discovery process. Plaintiff indicates that he graduated from high school with a 2.0 GPA. This case does not appear likely to require expert testimony, nor does it appear overly complex at this stage. The Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of representing himself at this time. Plaintiff's motion #11 is DENIED with leave to renew. (SAG, ilcd)
