- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01361_de69 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 8/6/2019. Plaintiff files 52 , a one-page motion for recruitment of pro bono counsel. As previously noted, 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). The most that the Court can do is to ask for volunteer counsel. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1071 (7th Cir. 1992)(holding that it is a fundamental premise that indigent civil litigants have no constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court.). 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. Here, Plaintiff fails to identify any facts to support that he is unable to proceed on his own. 52 is DENIED. Plaintiff files 53 , requesting an extension in which to respond to Defendant's discovery requests. 53 is GRANTED as Plaintiff has until August 20, 2019 in which to fully comply.
