- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01161_de37 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ONLY ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 1/23/2017. Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Recruitment of pro bono counsel. In considering Plaintiffs 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). Here, Plaintiff provides a letter for a single attorney, declining the representation. Here, Plaintiff has not demonstrated that he made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel or that he has been effectively precluded from doing so. 29 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 include copies of letters sent to, or received from, those attorneys. (RK, ilcd) (Entered: 01/23/2017)" @default.
