- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01043_de51 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 7/9/2018: Plaintiff files 34 , a second motion for recruitment of pro bono counsel. The Court had denied Plaintiff"s prior motion for his failure to demonstrate a good faith effort to obtain counsel on his own. At that time, the Court recommended that he provide copies of letters sent to, and received from, prospective counsel. This is because the Court does not have the authority to require that pro bono counsel accept appointments on civil cases such as this. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff claims that he has contacted several attorneys' offices without success. He does not provide copies of the letters he sent, but only a mailroom log showing that the various letters were sent. In the Court's experience, prospective counsel will generally respond, even if declining the representation. 34 is DENIED for Plaintiffs failure to document a good faith effort to obtain counsel. (JRK, ilcd) (Entered: 07/09/2018)" @default.
