- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01258_de20 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's motions for counsel are denied ( 4 , 18 ), with leave to renew on a more developed record. The Court does not have the authority to require an attorney to accept pro bono appointment on a civil case such as this. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). The most the Court can do is ask for volunteer counsel. In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take the case, the question is "given the difficulty of the case, does the plaintiff appear competent to litigate it himself?" Pruitt, 503 F.3d at 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). At this stage, Plaintiff appears competent to proceed pro se in light of the relative simplicity of his claimthat Defendants broadcast his private medical and mental health conditions to others for no legitimate purpose. Plaintiff was present when the incident occurred and can therefore testify personally to what happened. Plaintiff has filed his mental health records, which do support his claim of serious mental health needs, but Plaintiff still appears able to proceed pro se at this point. Plaintiff may renew his motion after a scheduling order is entered and discovery begins. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 10/13/2016. (GL, ilcd) (Entered: 10/13/2016)" @default.
