August 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER. Plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel #2 is denied without prejudice. Local Civil Rule 10.C provides that "[a]bsent special circumstances, no motions for the appointment of counsel will be granted until after dispositive motions have been resolved." The local rule reflects the experience-based judgment of the District Court that, given the few attorneys who have expressed willingness to represent inmates pro bono, counsel should be reserved for cases pending trial. This case has not reached the applicable stage and Plaintiff has not demonstrated that special circumstances exist. Signed by Chief Magistrate Judge Richard A. Lanzillo on 8/17/23.
