ORDER CONSTRUING #16 Response to #11 Order Dismissing Complaint as a Supplement to #3 Motion for Recruitment of Counsel. Plaintiff's original Motion for Recruitment of Counsel (Doc. 3) was dismissed without prejudice based on his failure to demonstrate reasonable efforts to find an attorney before seeking the court's assistance. (See Doc. 11, p. 4). The supplement consists of a single letter from an attorney or law firm that denied Plaintiff's request for representation. This single letter is insufficient to show Plaintiff's reasonable efforts to find an attorney, and he claims no impediment to doing so. Plaintiff should contact at least three attorneys or firms before renewing his motion for recruitment of counsel in this matter. He should also attach copies of all correspondence sent to or received from counsel regarding representation in this matter when he renews his motion. The #3 Motion for Recruitment of Counsel remains DENIED without prejudice. The Clerk's Office is DIRECTED to SEND Plaintiff a blank form motion for recruitment of counsel. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 11/29/2021. (jsy) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
