Opinion
No. 06-C-282-S.
September 27, 2006
ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a second motion for appointment of counsel. He provides a list of attorneys that he has contacted who will not represent him.
In Farmer v. Haas, 990 F.2d 319, 322 (7th Cir. 1993), the Court provided the following standard for appointment of counsel, "given the difficulty of the case, did the plaintiff appear to be competent to try it himself and, if not, would the presence of counsel have made a difference in the outcome."
Although plaintiff alleges that the defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical need, it appears at this stage that plaintiff is competent to try the case himself. The Court will deny plaintiff's second motion for appointment of counsel. Martin v. Gerlinger, et al., 06-C-282-S
ORDER
IT IS ORDER that plaintiff's second motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
