February 6, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 100 ORDER upon consideration of Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification (Doc. 50), de novo review of Magistrate Judge Carlson's Report & Recommendation (Doc. 94), Plaintiff's Objections to the Report &Recommendation (Doc. 98), and Plain tiff's Motion for an Evidentiary Hearing and Protective Order (Doc. 90), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. Plaintiff's Objections (Doc. 98) are SUSTAINED IN PART AND OVERRULED IN PART. After reviewing Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certifica tion (Doc. 50) and Objections (Doc. 98), the Court sustains Plaintiff's objection that he requested the appointment of counsel in his prayer for relief. The Court overrules all other objections. 2. Magistrate Judge Carlson's Report &Recomme ndation (Doc. 94) is ADOPTED IN PART AND REJECTED IN PART. The Court adopts Magistrate Carlson's recommendation to deny class certification. However, the Court finds that Plaintiff clearly asked for appointment of counsel as an alternative to Pl aintiff's serving as class representative in his prayer for relief and rejects Judge Carlson's conclusion that "it is abundantly clear that Cardona has not requested the appointment of... counsel." (Doc. 94 at 12). The Court deter mines that an appointment of counsel is not appropriate at this time under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1), and adopts Magistrate Judge Carlson's recommendation that appointment of counsel is inappropriate (Doc. 94 at 12, n.3). 3. Plaintiffs Motion for Appointment of Counsel (Doc. 50) is DENIED. 4. Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification (Doc. 50) is DENIED. 5. Plaintiffs Motion for an Evidentiary Hearing and Protective Order (Doc. 90) is DENIED AS MOOT. Signed by Honorable Robert D. Mariani on 2/6/12 (jfg)
