- ilcd;;4:17-cv-04306_de9 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 12/28/17. Plaintiff's motion for counsel 8 is DENIED. 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). The most that the Court can do is to 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 Court will not consider attempting to recruit counsel to represent Plaintiff until Plaintiff can demonstrate that he possesses a claim upon which relief can be granted. Plaintiff has not yet done this, and his attempt to amend his complaint through this motion is improper. In order to comply with the Court's Merit Review Order and with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint that alleges who violated his constitutional rights, how his rights were allegedly violated, and when the alleged violation occurred. Plaintiff's proposed amended complaint must stand on its own without reference to or reliance upon his Original Complaint. Flannery v. Recording Indus. Assn of Am., 354 F.3d 632, 638 n.1 (7th Cir. 2004). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send the forms that Plaintiff needs to file a complaint under 42 U.S.C. 1983.
