- ilcd;;3:16-cv-03323_de27 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 9/11/2017: Plaintiff has filed 20 , a Motion to Request Counsel asserting that his confinement, physical limitations of being non-ambulatory and unspecified mental health conditions make it difficult for him to prosecute his own case. As previously noted, the Court does not possess the authority to require an attorney to accept pro bono appointments on civil cases such as this and can only ask for volunteer counsel. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070, 1071 (7th Cir. 1992) (holding that it is a "fundamental premise that indigent civil litigants have no constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court."). The relevant inquiry is whether plaintiff appears competent to proceed on his own. The Court finds that, based upon the current record, the Plaintiff appears competent to litigate the claim of deliberate indifference in the treatment of his back pain. This issue is not unduly complex and relies on information of which Plaintiff has personal knowledge. 20 is DENIED. (JRK, ilcd) (Entered: 09/11/2017)" @default.
