November 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 6 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim . Filed by Oregon Department of Human Services Child Welfare, Lacey Alvernaz, Ashlynn Banks. (Gray, Kyleigh)
October 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER by Magistrate Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai DENYING Motion for Appointment of Counsel #4 . Generally, there is no constitutional right to counsel in a civil case and a court may not "authorize the appointment of counsel to involuntary service." See United States v. 30.64 Acres of Land, 795 F.2d 796, 801 (9th Cir. 1986). A district court, however, may request an attorney to represent any person unable to afford counsel in limited circumstances. 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(1). The decision to appoint counsel is "within the sound discretion of the trial court and is granted only in exceptional circumstances." Agyeman v. Corrections Corp. of Am., 390 F.3d 1101, 1103 (9th Cir. 2004) (quotation marks and citation omitted). A finding of exceptional circumstances depends on two factors: the plaintiff's likelihood of success on the merits, and the plaintiff's ability to articulate his or her claims in light of the complexity of the legal issues involved. Id. Neither factor is dispositive and both must be viewed together before ruling on a request for counsel. Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009) (citation omitted). Here, neither prong of the exceptional circumstances test is met. (Deposited in outgoing mail to pro se party on 10/25/2022.) (jk)
