No. CIV 10-0193-PHX-RCB (DKD)

ORDER

This matter arises on Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 25) (Second Request).

Plaintiff requests that the court appoint counsel because he lacks legal training and because of

the limited legal resources in the Department of Corrections. Plaintiff’s first request for the

appointment of counsel was denied on March 25, 2010 (Doc. 9). Plaintiff has not yet

demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits, nor has he shown that he is experiencing

difficulty in litigating this case because of the complexity of the issues involved. Moreover,

Plaintiff’s numerous filings with the Court as well as the pending motion, indicate that Plaintiff

is capable of presenting legal and factual arguments to the Court. After reviewing the file, the

Court determines that this case does not present exceptional circumstances requiring the

appointment of counsel. 

Accordingly,
