- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01323_de23 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's motion for the Court to seek pro bono counsel for Plaintiff is denied (d/e 19 ). The Court does not have the authority to order an attorney to accept pro bono appointment on a civil case such as this. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653 (7th Cir. 2007). In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take the case without pay, the question is "given the difficulty of the case, does the plaintiff appear competent to litigate it himself?" Pruitt, 503 F.3d at 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). On this record, Plaintiff appears competent to proceed pro se. His pleadings adequately convey the factual basis for his claims, and he has personal knowledge of the alleged excessive force and his injuries therefrom. Plaintiff also has significant experience litigating in federal court, according to a search of computerized records. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 11/2/2017. (CC, ilcd) (Entered: 11/02/2017)" @default.
