Date Filed Document Text
May 24, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 36 DOCKET TEXT ORDER denying #33 Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration on Charlton Lachase's Motion to Appoint Counsel. Plaintiffs seek reconsideration of the #20 order granting a limited appointment of counsel for Mr. Lachase. Plaintiffs filed a prior motion for reconsideration #25 of the #19 order granting Mr. Lachase's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, arguing Mr. Lachase's social media posts demonstrated he was able to afford counsel. The court denied that motion for reconsideration in a May 17, 2023 order #26 . Plaintiffs' new motion for reconsideration again relies on social media posts in arguing Mr. Lachase is able to afford counsel. This motion for reconsideration is denied for the same reasons stated in the May 17, 2023 order #26 . Social media posts, including those attached to Plaintiffs' motions, do not provide reliable evidence of income or assets. Plaintiffs have not demonstrated the court misapprehended the facts, a party's position, or the controlling law in granting a limited appointment of counsel for Mr. Lachase. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg on 5/24/2023. No attached document. (med)
