- ilcd;;3:17-cv-03212_de33 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's motions for the Court to attempt to recruit pro bono counsel to represent him are denied. (d/e's 15 , 22 .). The Court cannot 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). Plaintiff asserts that he has written several law firms, but he does not attach copies of his letters or any responses he received. In any event, even if Plaintiff did make reasonable efforts to find counsel, he appears competent to proceed pro se. The question is "whether the difficulty of the casefactually and legallyexceeds the particular plaintiff's capacity as a layperson to coherently present it to the judge or jury himself." Pruitt, 503 F.3d at 655 (7th Cir. 2007). Plaintiff's pleadings adequately advocate on Plaintiff's behalf and demonstrate some knowledge of the applicable law and civil procedure. Plaintiff has obtained his G.E.D., has taken some classes in prison, and has some experience litigating. (Pl.'s Mot. Counsel, d/e 15 .) 6BE32FF v. Santos, 13-cv-868 (S.D. Ill); 6BE32FF v. Bautista, 14-cv-885 (S.D. Ill.). 6BE32FF v. Santos included claims similar this case, though against different Defendants, and was resolved in the defendants' favor on summary judgment, which means that Plaintiff should be familiar with the applicable law on deliberate indifference and the procedure for opposing summary judgment. Further, Plaintiff has personal knowledge of the pain and symptoms he is experiencing, his efforts to obtain treatment, and the responses he received. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 6/21/2018. (GL, ilcd) (Entered: 06/21/2018)" @default.
