- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01429_de77 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (d/e 59 ) is denied as unnecessary because Plaintiff is already proceeding in forma pauperis. Plaintiff's motion for the appointment of pro bono counsel is denied (d/e 60 ). The Court does not have power to order 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). 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 appears competent to proceed pro se. His pleadings adequately convey the factual basis for his claims, and he should have personal knowledge of many of the relevant facts underlying his claims. Additionally, Plaintiff has been released from prison, which should make it easier for him to pursue this case. Plaintiff may renew his motion on a more developed factual record, setting forth his educational level, any jobs he has had inside or outside of prison, any classes he has taken in prison, and his litigation experience in state and federal court. On a separate matter, Plaintiff's motion for copies and an order directing library access is denied. (d/e 63 .) Plaintiff's request for library access is moot because he is no longer in prison. Plaintiff may obtain copies of filings by sending 10 cents per page, pre-paid, with a self-addressed envelope with postage prepaid. The clerk is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of the docket sheet. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 9/8/2017. (MAS, ilcd) (Entered: 09/08/2017)" @default.
