- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01024_de27 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 5/4/2016. Plaintiff files a Motion for Counsel 16 indicating that he has vision problems which affect his ability to represent himself. Plaintiff claims that he has tried to obtain counsel on his own, and includes letters he has written written to prospective counsel in 2010 through 2015. He offers no attempts to solicit counsel for this current case. In considering Plaintiff's Motion, the Court asks: (1) has the indigent Plaintiff made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel or been effectively precluded from doing so; and if so, (2) given the difficulty of the case, does the plaintiff appear competent to litigate it himself? Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007), citing Farmer v. Haas, 990 F.2d 319, 322 (7th Cir. 1993). Plaintiff has not demonstrated that he made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel or that he has been effectively precluded from doing so. 16 is DENIED at this time. In the event Plaintiff renews his motion for appointment of counsel, he should list the attorneys to whom he wrote and should attach any letters sent to or received from those attorneys. Plaintiff files 18 Motion to File an Affidavit. The filing, however, is not an affidavit but rather a collection of articles from print sources. As this is not an affidavit based on Plaintiff's personal knowledge, 18 is STRICKEN. Plaintiff's 21 , Motion for Status is rendered MOOT by these orders. (JMB, ilcd) (Entered: 05/04/2016)" @default.
