ORDER ON MOTION

Pending before the court is Plaintiff's motion for leave to file a motion for

appointment of counsel. Upon consideration of the motion , it is 

ORDERED that the motion for leave to file a motion for appointment of counsel (Doc.

No. 32) is GRANTED. 

Plaintiff requests appointment of counsel. Plaintiff's request for representation has

been read, considered, and the same shall be denied. The court finds from its review of the

complaint that Plaintiff is able to adequately articulate the facts and grounds for relief in the

instant matter without notable difficulty. Furthermore, the court concludes that Plaintiff's

complaint is not of undue complexity and that he has not shown that there are exceptional

circumstances justifying appointment of counsel. See Killian v. Holt, 166 F.3d 1156, 1157

(11th Cir.1999); Kilgo v. Ricks, 983 F.2d 189, 193 (11th Cir. 1993); see also Fowler v. Jones,

899 F.2d 1088, 1096 (11th Cir. 1990). Therefore, in the exercise of its discretion, the court

shall deny Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel at this time. The request may be

reconsidered if warranted by further developments in this case.

Accordingly, it is 

ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.

DONE, this 4th day of March 2009.
