- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01201_de11 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Sara Darrow on 7/14/16. Plaintiff's motion to request counsel 7 is DENIED. The Court cannot consider the merits of the motion until Plaintiff shows that he has made reasonable efforts to find counsel on his own. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). This Court typically requires a litigant to attach the responses that he has received from lawyers declining the request to represent him. Plaintiff has only made one attempt to find counsel on his own, and he has not attached that response to his motion for counsel or demonstrated that he has made a good faith effort to find counsel on his own. Plaintiff may renew his motion for counsel, but if he chooses to do so, he should attach the responses that he has received from the lawyers that he has contacted where those lawyers decline his request to represent him. In addition, Plaintiff should set forth his educational level, work experience inside and outside of the facility, his litigation experience (if any), and any other facts relevant to whether he is competent to proceed without an attorney. As for his request for leave to depose Defendants, that request is also denied until Plaintiff can show that he has the funds necessary to pay the fees associated with a deposition. Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status does not entitle him to take a deposition without payment of the fees associated with taking that deposition. (SW, ilcd) (Entered: 07/14/2016)" @default.
