- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01486_de16 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge James E. Shadid on 4/11/2017. Plaintiff has filed a motion for appointment of counsel. 5 Plaintiff has no constitutional right to the appointment of counsel. In addition, the Court cannot require an attorney to accept pro bono appointment in a civil case. The most the Court can do is ask for volunteer counsel. See Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1071 (7th Cir. 1992). In considering Plaintiff's motion, the Court must ask two questions: "(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 (7th Cir. 2007), citing Farmer v. Haas, 990 F.2d 319, 322 (7th Cir. 1993). In this case, Plaintiff has not provided any evidence of his attempts to find counsel on his own such as copies of letters sent or received. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion is denied with leave to renew. 5 (SL, ilcd) (Entered: 04/11/2017)" @default.
