IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

ANGELA MANNS PLAINTIFF

v. 4:07CV00758-WRW

 

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

MEDICAL CENTER, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending are Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. No. 8) and Motion for

Temporary Restraining Order (Doc. No. 7).

A September 7, 2007 Order directed Plaintiff to seek counsel on her own before

requesting appointment by the Court.1 Plaintiff has now submitted a follow-up brief listing the

counsel she contacted, and asks again for appointment of counsel. In the renewed motion

Plaintiff asserts that she is “willing to pay reasonable costs for [her] legal representation.”2

 I also

note that Plaintiff paid the $350 filing fee. 

A court is permitted to appoint counsel “to represent any person unable to afford

counsel” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1). Since it appears that Plaintiff is able to afford counsel,

the Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. No. 8) is DENIED. Plaintiff may proceed pro se or hire a

lawyer on her own.

Plaintiff -- or her lawyer, if she retains one -- is directed to respond to Defendant’s

Motion to Dismiss, filed on September 28, 2007, by 5 p.m., Thursday, December 20, 2007.

Plaintiff’s Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (Doc. No. 7) is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 28th day of November, 2007.
