ORDER ON MOTION

Plaintiff filed a Motion for Appointment of Counsel on June 28, 2004. (Doc. No. 7.)

 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
