- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01191_de87 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 3/22/18. Plaintiff files 65 a request for recruitment of pro bono counsel. 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. Plaintiff asserts that his mental health issues and segregation status makes it difficult for him to prosecute his case. As previously noted, however, Plaintiff has filed interrogatories, requests to produce, requests to admit and successful motions to compel. The Court does not see detriment in his continued self-representation. This, particularly, as Plaintiff alleges that he was double celled in a single cell, that he had raw sewage on his cell floor, that noise is excessive, that yard time is inadequate and that he went 5 days without a working toilet. These issues are not complex and Plaintiff has personal first-hand knowledge of them. 65 is DENIED. (SKR, ilcd) (Entered: 03/22/2018)" @default.
