- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01381_de15 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sara Darrow on 11/29/2016. Plaintiff files Motion to Request Counsel 10 . The Plaintiff has no constitutional or statutory right to counsel in this case. In considering the Plaintiffs 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), citing Farmer v. Haas, 990 F.2d 319, 322 (7th Cir.1993). Plaintiff has shown that he made a reasonable attempt to secure counsel on his own. Plaintiff has personal knowledge of the facts, has adequately conveyed them to the Court, and he can testify as to any injuries he sustained. Therefore, the Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of representing himself at this time. Plaintiffs Motion 10 is DENIED with leave to renew. (KB, ilcd) (Entered: 11/29/2016)" @default.
