- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01485_de54 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Entered by Judge Sara Darrow on 11/27/2018 DENYING 32 Petitioner's Motion Requesting Counsel. When confronted with a motion to appoint counsel, the Court should ask whether the Petitioner has made efforts to obtain counsel and whether the Petitioner appears competent to litigate the case himself. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654 (7th Cir. 2007). Here, Petitioner has not shown that he has made any effort to obtain counsel. Additionally, the Court notes that Petitioner's brief and arguments are easy to follow and he appears well versed in his Constitutional rights. Petitioner has cited relevant case law to support his arguments. Also, Petitioner has not stated that he suffers from any mental or physical disability that would impair his ability to represent himself and his claims are simple. In sum, Petitioner appears quite competent to represent himself and able to do legal research as well as advance his claims on his own. Accordingly, Petitioner's Motion 32 is DENIED at this time. Petitioner's Motion for Status 36 regarding his previous motion is DENIED AS MOOT. (LN, ilcd) (Entered: 11/27/2018)" @default.
