- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01089_de117 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 3/21/2018: Defendant FF3981C files 85 and Defendants Malcolme, 8C8C12B, C1E9465 and 207E7E3 file 86 , motions for extension in which to reply to Plaintiffs response to summary judgment. 85 and 86 are GRANTED. Defendants have until March 28, 2018 in which to file. Plaintiff files 87 a motion for recruitment of pro bono counsel. Plaintiff asserts that his incarceration inhibits his ability to prosecute his case and that trial will likely involve conflicting testimony. The Court does not possess the authority to require an attorney to accept pro bono appointments on civil cases such as this. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take a case, the question is whether the plaintiff appears competent to litigate his own claims, given their degree of difficulty, and this includes the tasks that normally attend litigation: evidence gathering, preparing and responding to motions and other court filings, and trial. Pruitt at 655. Here, Plaintiff has filed 55-page and 61-page responses to Defendants' motions for summary judgment. He has proved himself well able to proceed on his own. Furthermore, Plaintiff's claim of failure to protect is not particularly complex and involves facts of which he has personal knowledge. 87 is DENIED.(JRK, ilcd) (Entered: 03/21/2018)" @default.
