- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01244_de75 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 11/1/2017. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to File Deposition by Written Question 67 . Plaintiff states that he wants to "utilize [the Defendants'] sworn testimony as evidence at trial," however, dispositive motions have not yet been filed in this case. Plaintiff can obtain sworn statements from Defendants via interrogatories and other forms of discovery, and he has not identified what information he is unable to obtain via those avenues. Plaintiff's motion 67 is therefore DENIED. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to Renew a Motion for Appointment of Counsel 66 . The Court interprets this as a motion to request counsel. Plaintiff alleges he is allowed only one pen and that he cannot possibly respond to everything using only that pen. Plaintiff also alleges, without explanation, that this case has become too complex. Plaintiff has no constitutional or statutory right to counsel in this case. In considering the Plaintiff's 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). Plaintiff has previously shown that he made a reasonable attempt to secure counsel on his own. The Court also previously found Plaintiff capable of representing himself in its Order entered July 19, 2017 65 . Plaintiff has not provided any additional information to show that he is no longer capable of doing so now. Plaintiff's motion to request counsel 66 is DENIED with leave to renew. Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time 69 is GRANTED. Dispositive motions shall be filed by November 27, 2017. (JMB, ilcd) (Entered: 11/01/2017)" @default.
