Date Filed Document Text
September 28, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: Denying Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration #8 . As articulated in the Court's Order of Dismissal #6 , this Court cannot make a determination that Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits at the screening stage, and Plaintiff has demonstrated sufficient ability to articulate his claims in light of the complexity of the case. Indeed, the clarity of Plaintiff's complaint demonstrates his ability to proceed pro se despite the inherent difficulties of doing so while incarcerated. Accordingly, there are no exceptional circumstances at this time warranting the appointment of counsel under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(1). Plaintiff may renew his request for counsel at a later stage of the proceeding. Ordered by Judge Karin J. Immergut. (Deposited in outgoing mail to pro se party on 9/29/2021.) (ki)

This dismissal is with prejudice as to ODOC and TRCI. Whaley may file an amended complaint, within thirty days of the date of this Order, curing the deficiencies noted above. Whaley is advised that if he fails to file an amended complaint, this action will proceed against Campos only. This Court DENIES Whaley's Motion for Appointment of Counsel (ECF No. #3 ) because he has demonstrated a sufficient ability to articulate his claims in light of the complexity of the case and, at this stage of the proceeding, has failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits. See Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009). Whaley may renew his request for counsel at a later stage of the proceeding. Signed on 8/27/2021 by Judge Karin J. Immergut.
