ORDER ON MOTION

The plaintiff filed a motion for appointment of counsel on October 12, 2006 (Court Doc.

No. 3). The court notes that the facts underlying the plaintiff’s claims for relief are relatively

simple and the law applicable to such claims is not complex. Moreover, the pleadings filed in

this case establish that the plaintiff is capable of presenting the necessary elements of his claims

to this court and fail to demonstrate that there are exceptional circumstances justifying

appointment of counsel. See Bass v. Perrin, 170 F.3d 1312, 1320 (11 Cir. 1999); Kilgo v. Ricks,

th

983 F.2d 189, 193 (11 Cir. 1993); Dean v. Barber, 951 F.2d 1210, 1216 (11 Cir. 1992). th th

Accordingly, it is 

ORDERED that the motion for appointment of counsel be and is hereby DENIED. 

Done this 16 day of October, 2006. th
