Filing 10
Memorandum of Opinion and Order: Plaintiff's complaint fails to state a plausible federal claim under 1983 upon which he may be granted relief and is dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e) and 1915A. His remaining pending motions are both denied. Appointment of counsel in civil cases is justified only in "exceptional circumstances" Lavado v.Keohane, 992 F.2d 601, 605-06 (6th Cir. 1993), which the Court does not find present here. And, Plaintiff has not demonstrated a basis to find that ODRC staff is interfering with his correspondence. The Court further certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3), that an appeal from this decision could not be taken in good faith. District Judge Patricia A Gaughan on 7/2/25. (LC,S)
