July 18, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER **Plaintiff has moved for appointment of counsel. Dkt. #3 . The motion is premature because the court must screen her complaint under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B). If the case proceeds past screening, plaintiff then may file a new motion asking this court to recruit a volunteer attorney for her. She will have to submit letters from at least three attorneys that have refused to take her case, and specifically explain what litigation tasks would be too difficult for her to complete. Plaintiff's motion, Dkt. #3 , is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The clerk of court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of this order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 7/18/2023.
