December 9, 2022 Filing 21 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #12 Motion to Appoint Counsel. There is no constitutional right to an appointed lawyer in a civil case. See DesRosiers v. Moran, 949 F.2d 15, 24 (1st Cir. 1991). While pro se plaintiff Jeffrey Fisk provides the court with information regarding his financial inability to obtain counsel, a plaintiff must demonstrate that he is indigent and that exceptional circumstances warrant the appointment of counsel. Nearly all pro se parties that institute litigation are untrained in the law and have no experience in researching and preparing legal arguments. Fisk has effectively presented to the court his claims under the Eighth Amendment for inadequate medical care and the facts supporting his claim. At this point in the litigation, the court denies the motion without prejudice to refiling if exceptional circumstances arise. (mkz)
