Filing 7
** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Plaintiff Kevon Houston, whose recently filed complaint is awaiting screening pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. 1915A, has filed a motion for appointment of counsel in this civil action. (Dkt. #4 .) There is no right to appointment of counsel in civil cases. A court may, in its discretion, recruit a lawyer who is willing to volunteer to represent an indigent civil litigant, but it need only do so where the legal and factual difficulties of the case exceed the litigant's ability to represent himself. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). Before making that determination, the court must first find that the litigant has made reasonable efforts to recruit an attorney on his own and has been unsuccessful. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1072 (7th Cir. 1992). This court generally requires litigants in plaintiff's position to submit letters from at least three attorneys declining to represent them, or, if they received no response letters, a declaration attesting to whom they reached out for representation and when they sent the letter. Plaintiff has not met this threshold requirement. Therefore, plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel (dkt. #4 ) is DENIED. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 1/3/2024. (jls),(ps)
