No. CIV 05-1565-PHX-ROS (DKD)

ORDER

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff’s Motion for an Order to Depose Each Defendant

(Doc.#59) and Motion Requesting Appointment of Advisory Counsel (Doc. #60). On January

4, 2007, the Court denied Plaintiff’s request for the appointment of counsel (Doc. #40).

Plaintiff is requesting that advisory counsel be appointed because he lacks legal training.

 There is no constitutional right to appointment of counsel in a civil case. Plaintiff has

again failed to demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits, and has not shown that he

is experiencing difficulty in litigating this case because of the complexity of the issues involved.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion will be denied.

Plaintiff also requests that the Court issue an order and schedule depositions for the

Defendants. Plaintiff further requests that the Court order the state to provide legal counsel in

the deposition process at its expense (Doc. #60 at 2). Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 30, Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff’s motion will be denied.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting Appointment of

Advisory Counsel (Doc. #60) is DENIED without prejudice.
