- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01476_de16 RegisterActionDescriptionText "Text Order: Plaintiff's motions for the Court to appoint pro bono counsel are denied (d/es 5 , 12 ). 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 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. 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 asserts that he submitted a motion to amend his complaint, but the Court does not see the motion in the docket. If Plaintiff seeks to file an amended complaint, he must file a motion attaching the proposed amended complaint. The proposed amended complaint must contain all claims, because, if the amended complaint is allowed, the amended complaint will replace the original complaint in its entirety. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 4/25/2017. (GL, ilcd) (Entered: 04/25/2017)" @default.
