October 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER: Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel #3 is DENIED. There is no constitutional right to counsel in a civil case. United States v. 30.64 Acres of Land, 795 F.2d 796, 801 (9th Cir. 1986). Although the Court has discretion to request volunteer counsel under 28 U.S.C. 1915, there must be exceptional circumstances. Wood v. Houseright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335 (9th Cir. 1990); Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir. 1986). To determine whether exceptional circumstances exist, the Court evaluates the plaintiff's likelihood of success on the merits and the ability of the plaintiff to articulate his or her claim pro se in light of the complexity of the legal issues involved. Wood, 900 F.2d at 1335-36; Wilborn, 789 F.2d at 1331. The Court declines to request volunteer counsel at this time. Plaintiff's initial filings indicate that he is able to sufficiently articulate his claim. At this stage of the proceedings, the Court is unable to assess the likelihood of success on the merits. This decision is without prejudice as to a future motion for appointment of counsel. Ordered by Judge Marco A. Hernandez.(Deposited in outgoing mail to pro se party on 10/27/2023.) (jp)
