ORDER ON MOTION

The plaintiff filed a motion for appointment of counsel on July 25, 2006 (Court Doc. No.

11). 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 (11th Cir. 1999); Kilgo v. Ricks, 983 F.2d 189,

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

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

DONE, this 1st day of August, 2006.
