- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01264_de50 RegisterActionDescriptionText "Text Order: Plaintiff has filed three motions for the appointment of counsel which appear substantially similar. 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). On this record, Plaintiff still appears competent to proceed pro se, though he has submitted records to support his claim that he suffers from mental illness. Plaintiff already has personal knowledge of the mental health crises he experienced and the defendants response. Similarly, he would have personal knowledge of the alleged excessive force, though he has not responded to the partial summary judgment citing video evidence that no excessive force was used. He has a high school degree (Pl.s Dep, p. 11) and was able to answer questions at his depositions coherently and completely. After the Court rules on the pending motion partial motion for summary judgment, Plaintiff may renew his motion for counsel. Plaintiff's motions for counsel are, therefore, DENIED 21 , 29 and 34 . Sua sponte, Plaintiff's deadline for responding to the partial summary judgment motion is extended to July 14, 2017. Entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 06/26/2017. (SKN, ilcd) (Entered: 06/26/2017)" @default.
