- ilnd;;1:20-cv-01982_de57 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall. Plaintiff's Motion to Redact Protected Health Information 40 is denied. To the extent any documents containing PHI are filed in this case, the parties should file them under seal pursuant to Local Rule 26.2. Plaintiff's Motion for Jury Demand 41 is dismissed as moot. Plaintiff demanded a trial by jury when she first filed this action. [1-1.] There is no need for an additional motion on this issue. Were this case to go to trial, it would be a trial by jury. Plaintiff's Motion for an extension of time to file disclosures 52 is dismissed as moot because Plaintiff has now filed her disclosures. Plaintiff filed her disclosures one day late, but the Court will accept those disclosures as timely given the Internet connectivity issues Plaintiff described in her Motion. Plaintiff's Motion for Attorney Representation 55 is denied without prejudice. Determining whether to appoint counsel for a pro se civil litigant is a two-part inquiry. First, the litigant must demonstrate that she has made reasonable but failed efforts to obtain counsel on her own. Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 655 (7th Cir. 2007). Here, Plaintiff has demonstrated that she has made such efforts. See 18 . Second, the litigant must lack competency to litigate her own case. Pruitt, 503 F.3d at 655. Plaintiff has shown herself competent to litigate this case. She writes clearly and well. She has filed a variety of motions. She has filed her initial disclosures. In sum, she has demonstrated competency to litigate this matter on her own. Plaintiff's "Motion for Final Judgment Pending Jury Demand" 57 is denied without prejudice. The Court construes this Motion as a renewed motion for default judgment. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(d), default judgment may only be entered against an officer of the United States "if the claimant establishes a claim or right to relief by evidence that satisfies the court." Plaintiff has not satisfied this burden at this point in the litigation. Moreover, the Court has previously denied another motion for default judgment in this case 12 and Defendant has been participating in this litigation, as evidenced by Defendant's Answer 48 and the filing of initial disclosures 51 . Finally, Plaintiff's "Motion to Bar Re-Discovery" 56 is denied with prejudice. Discovery is a fundamental tenet of civil litigation in federal court. Plaintiff cites no authority that would permit the Court to do away with the process altogether simply because this case was previously the subject of an administrative complaint.
