ORDER: Plaintiffs' petitions to proceed in forma pauperis and for attorney representation #4 #8 #5 are granted. The Court has authority under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1) and (e)(1) to authorize the commencement of any suit without the prepayment of fees and request an attorney to represent any person unable to afford counsel. The Court's review of the pro se complaint reveals a potential claim. The Court finds that a court-appointed attorney would greatly assist the Court in determining the merits of Plaintiffs' suit. The Court recruits Robert J. Franco, Franco & Moroney, LLC, 500 W. Madison Street, Suite 3900, Chicago, Illinois, 60661, (312) 469-1000, robert.franco@francomoroney.com, to represent the plaintiffs in this case.
