September 17, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of a Letter from Plaintiff. There, he expresses the need for representation in this matter. Because Plaintiff is not indigent and has not demonstrated any efforts to find an attorney, the Court is unable to recruit counsel on his behalf. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(1). However, he is free to contact attorneys and law firms to request pro bono representation in this matter. He can also have his family do this on his behalf. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 9/17/2021. (jsy) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

August 24, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ORDER DISMISSING as MOOT #9 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis (IFP motion). Plaintiff already prepaid his full filing fee of $402.00 for this action, so he need not ask to proceed as a poor person without prepayment of this amount. To the extent he filed this motion to support a request for recruitment of counsel, his request is denied. Plaintiff filed no motion for recruitment of counsel--only a letter stating that he is retaining his own attorney. (See Doc. 10). Given the significant assets he disclosed in the IFP Motion at Doc. 9, it would appear that Plaintiff does not qualify for court-recruited counsel in any event. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 8/24/2021. (jsy) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
August 23, 2021 Filing 12 NOTICE OF CASE ASSIGNMENT/REASSIGNMENT: Pursuant to Administrative Order No. 257, this case will remain with the assigned District Judge J. Phil Gilbert.
