December 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER denying #3 Plaintiff's Motion to Appoint Counsel. This case is yet another in a long string of cases Plaintiff has filed in this court. The Court denies Plaintiff's Motion for the same reasons set out in its recent Order 46 in Escalante v. Burmaster, Case No. 23-cv-2471, denying appointment of counsel in that case. The bases for the denial are even stronger now than they were in the referenced Burmaster case. Most notably, Plaintiff's continued prolific filings in numerous cases before this court document his ability to navigate the federal court system and represent himself. Additionally, as in the referenced Burmaster case, in this case Plaintiff's Amended Complaint again asserts claims against a Kansas State Court judge based upon the same two Johnson County, Kansas domestic cases (Case Nos. 18 -cv-03813 and 22-3391). Thus, the merits of this case appear questionable in light of judicial immunity and the Younger abstention doctrine, just as they do in the referenced Burmaster case. Signed by Magistrate Judge Teresa J. James on 12/29/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (tvn)
