| Filing 17 AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE Executed by Jonathan M. Roberts. Equifax, Inc. served on 4/12/2023, answer due 5/3/2023. Acknowledgement filed by Jonathan M. Roberts. (Roberts, Jonathan) |
| Filing 16 Copy re 15 Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief, 14 Order on Motion for Default Judgment, Order on Motion to Amend, 13 Order on Motion for leave to electronically file Pro Se, Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel, Order on Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis, mailed to Plaintiff on 4/11/23. (Figueroa, Tamara) |
| Filing 15 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered construing #8 Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Plaintiff to Appear as an ex parte motion for temporary restraining order and denying the motion. Plaintiff bears the burden of establishing his entitlement to injunctive relief and his filing falls short of establishing the four criteria for such relief. See Nieves-Martinez v. P.R., 353 F.3d 108, 120 (1st Cir. 2003). Most notably, Plaintiff's motion does not explain his claims, why he believes he is likely to succeed on the merits as to one or more of his claims, or any facts supporting a finding that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief. (Figueroa, Tamara) |
| Filing 14 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying, without prejudice, #6 Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment because the motion was filed prematurely and finding moot #9 Plaintiff's Motion to Amend Complaint. As Plaintiff notes in his motion, he does not require leave of the court to amend his complaint as, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a), he is permitted to amend his original Complaint once as a matter of course. (Figueroa, Tamara) |
| Filing 13 Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered finding moot #2 Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis based on Plaintiff's payment of the filing fee; granting #4 Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Electronically Pro Se; and denying #5 Plaintiff's Motion to Provide "Limited Assistance Representation." Civil litigants lack a constitutional right to counsel, as Plaintiff acknowledges, and it is beyond this court's authority to grant his request for funds to compensate counsel.
