- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01191_de77 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 9/1/17. Plaintiff's motion for extension of time to complete discovery 47 , is GRANTED, retroactively. Defendants' second motion for extension of time in which to file dispositive motions 49 is rendered MOOT by their subsequently filed motion at 57 . Plaintiff files a motion for recruitment of pro bono counsel 51 . As previously noted, 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). The most that the Court can do is to ask for volunteer counsel. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1071 (7th Cir. 1992) (holding that it is a "fundamental premise that indigent civil litigants have no constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court.") In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take a case, "the question is whether the difficulty of the case factually and legally exceeds the particular plaintiff's capacity as a layperson to coherently present it to the judge or jury himself....." Pruitt, 503 F.3d at 655. Plaintiff asserts that due to his confinement and placement in segregation he has difficulty conducting discovery. The court notes, however, that plaintiff has filed interrogatories, requests to produce, requests to admit and motions to compel, with some success. The court believes that plaintiff is capable of proceeding on his own, at least at this stage of the proceedings. It notes, further, that Plaintiffs conditions of confinement claim concerns facts of which he has particular knowledge and is not unduly complex. 51 DENIED. (SKR, ilcd) (Entered: 09/01/2017)" @default.
