- ilnd;;1:11-cv-01601_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable Ronald A. Guzman: Plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel 5 is denied without prejudice. Civil litigants have no constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court. McKeever v. Isreal, 689 F. 2d 1315 (7th Cir. 1982). District courts may, in their discretion, appoint counsel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1951(d). In evaluating a litigant's request to receive counsel, there is a threshold requirement that the indigent make a reasonable effort to secure counsel before presenting a request for appointment. Jackson v. County of McLean, 953 F.2d 1070(7th Cir. 1992). Virgil has completely failed to answer question number 2 and appears to have made no attempt to retain counsel. Therefore, we deny his request to appoint counsel. Mailed notice (ber, ) (Entered: 03/16/2011)" @default.
