January 17, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER denying #6 Motion for Recruitment of Counsel. When presented with a request to appoint counsel, the Court must make the following inquiries: (1) has the indigent plaintiff made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel or effectively been precluded from doing so, and (2) given the difficulty of the case, does the plaintiff appear competent to litigate it himself. See Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). As an initial matter, the Court notes that Plaintiff has not met his threshold burden in attempting to recruit counsel on his own. Plaintiff states that he "contacted several lawyers asking them to take my case and they all want money." In order to demonstrate sufficiently his attempts to recruit counsel, Plaintiff must submit the attorneys' responses to his requests for representation, or, if no responses are received, copies of the letters he sent them. However, even if Plaintiff made a sufficient showing that he attempted to recruit counsel, the Court is not inclined to do so on his behalf at this time. Plaintiff's pleadings to date demonstrate an ability to articulate clearly and effectively, and also reflect an understanding of the law. Moreover, this matter is in the initial stages of litigation as the case was just filed and no scheduling order has been entered. Signed by Magistrate Judge Gilbert C. Sison on 1/17/2019. (klh)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
