- ilcd;;4:16-cv-04121_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ONLY ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 9/13/2016. Plaintiff's motion for the Court to request counsel to voluntarily represent him is denied 5 . The Court does not have the authority to require 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). The most the Court can do is ask for volunteer counsel. In determining whether the Court should attempt to find an attorney to voluntarily take the case, 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 early 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. Plaintiff may renew his motion on a more developed factual record, setting forth his educational level, any jobs he has had inside or outside of prison, any classes he has taken in prison, and his litigation experience in state and federal court.
