- ilcd;;3:17-cv-03260_de33 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff's motion for the Court to attempt to recruit pro bono counsel to represent him is denied (d/e 23 ). 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 has made reasonable efforts to find counsel, so 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). On this record, Plaintiff appears competent to proceed pro se. His pleadings adequately convey the factual basis for his claims, and he should have personal knowledge of many of the relevant facts underlying his claims. He should be able to obtain his relevant medical records, which will be attached to the summary judgment motion in any event. He should also be able to describe his symptoms, difficulty functioning, attempts to obtain help, and the responses he received. Additionally, Plaintiff has been released from prison, which should make pursuing this case somewhat easier. Entered by Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins on 6/14/2018. (GL, ilcd) (Entered: 06/14/2018)" @default.
