- ilnd;;1:20-cv-01715_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Z. Lee: Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 4 is granted, as the application demonstrates that Plaintiff cannot prepay the filing fee. Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation 5 , however, is denied without prejudice. When deciding whether to recruit counsel, the Court assesses whether the plaintiff has made a reasonable attempt to retain counsel and whether, given the difficulty of the case, the plaintiff appears competent to litigate the matter himself. Pennewell v. Parish, 923 F.3d 486, 490 (7th Cir. 2019). Plaintiff here indicates that he has only contacted two law firms in search of representation, and he offers no reason besides indigence as to why he needs assistance litigating his case, which is not particularly complex. Should the case proceed to a point that assistance of counsel is appropriate, the Court will entertain a renewed request. Finally, the Court has conducted an initial review of Plaintiff's complaint 1 and determines that Plaintiff's claims satisfy the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to: (1) file Plaintiff's complaint; (2) issue summons for service of the complaint on the Defendant by the U.S. Marshal; and (3) send Plaintiff one blank USM-285 (Marshals service) form, a magistrate judge consent form, and filing instructions. Failure to return the completed USM-285 form by May 1, 2020 may result in a dismissal of this case. Mailed notice (ca, ) (Entered: 03/18/2020)" @default.
