- ilcd;;1:17-cv-01488_de111 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 10/22/2019. The motion to dismiss of Defendants Jeffreys and Hinton 81 is DENIED in its entirety, without prejudice to the parties filing motions for summary judgment. The Clerk is to substitute IDOC Director Rob Jeffreys in place of former IDOC Director B1B6421 who is DISMISSED. Plaintiff files a motion for the issuance of subpoenas to conduct discovery on nonparties, United States Senators Coons, Franken, Durbin, Booker and Leahy 85 . The Court has a duty "to supervise an in forma pauperis party's litigation to the end of preventing abuse of the court's process and the privileges granted him under Sec 1915, [an] authority [that] extends to screening an indigent party's requests for issuance and service of subpoenas duces tecum on nonparties." Jackson v. Brinker, No. 91-471, 1992 WL 404537, at *7 (S.D. Ind. Dec. 21, 1992). A Court may deny the issuance of a subpoena to a non-party if the subpoenaed materials would be frivolous, immaterial, unnecessary or unduly burdensome. Id. at *7. The mere fact that the Senators have introduced legislation to limit the use of solitary confinement [ECF 85 Ex. 1] is insufficient to warrant the relief requested. 85 is DENIED. Plaintiff files 91 , a motion for recruitment of pro bono counsel. 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). In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take a case, the question is whether the plaintiff appears competent to litigate his own claims, given their degree of difficulty. Pruitt at 655. Here, Plaintiff documents that he has an unspecified bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. The Court finds, however, that Plaintiff has adequately represented himself so far. Furthermore, the claims of deliberate indifference to his serious mental health needs and placement in long-term-term segregation involve issues of which Plaintiff has direct, personal knowledge. 91 is DENIED. See written order. (KE, ilcd) (Entered: 10/22/2019)" @default.
