- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01071_de66 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Sara Darrow on 1/10/2018. Plaintiff filed a Motion to Request Counsel 49 . Plaintiff has no constitutional or statutory right to counsel in this case. In considering the Plaintiffs motion, the court asks: (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, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff attached a copy of an envelope that had been returned to him. The envelope appears to have been addressed to an attorney, but Plaintiff did not attach a copy of the letter sent. Although Plaintiff states he sent letters and has given his case to attorneys, the Court cannot determine whether Plaintiff has made a reasonable attempt to obtain counsel. A plaintiff typically shows this by attaching copies of letters sent and copies of any responses received. In addition, Plaintiff has personal knowledge of the facts, he has been adequately able to convey them to the Court, he has been able to tender discovery, see 48 , and he should be able to obtain relevant documents through that process. Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of representing himself at this time. Plaintiffs motion 49 is DENIED with leave to renew. (ED, ilcd) (Entered: 01/10/2018)" @default.
