- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01176_de45 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 10/25/2017. Plaintiff's motion to request counsel 38 is DENIED. As the Court has previously explained to Plaintiff, the Court does not possess the authority to require an attorney to accept pro bono appointments on civil cases such as this. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). The question in deciding whether to attempt to recruit volunteer counsel for a pro se plaintiff is whether the plaintiff appears competent to litigate his own claims. Id. at 655. Here, Plaintiff appears capable of reading and writing English; he has filed cogent pleadings with the Court; he has successfully amended his complaint; and his claim has survived a merit review. As such, the Court finds that Plaintiff is capable of litigating his claim himself at this point in the litigation, and therefore, his motion is denied. (KE, ilcd) (Entered: 10/25/2017)" @default.
