Re: Byrd v. Kiniesh, et al.

Case No. 3:05CV00180

Dear Mr. Byrd:

The Court has reviewed your motion for appointment of counsel. Before the Court

can decide whether to appoint an attorney to represent you, it must have certain information.

The Court must know you have tried to find an attorney and have been unable to find one to

handle your case. Finally, the Court must know there is some basis for your lawsuit.

The Court requires that you ask three attorneys to take your case before one will be

appointed to represent you. You have ten (10) days from the date of this letter to file a

statement with the Court stating that you have talked to at least three attorneys who practice

in this field about taking your case, and they have refused to help you or have told you they

want you to pay them before they begin the case. If the attorneys refuse your case for

other than financial considerations, you should continue to seek counsel. The statement

should give the names of the attorneys talked to, the dates they were talked to, and what they

told you.

If you have additional facts to support your claim which were not included in your

complaint, you may include those in your statement. If you have witnesses you expect would

testify for you, you should give their names and state what you think they would say.

Please note, if you do not file your statement within ten (10) days, your request for

appointment of counsel will be denied.

 

 Sincerely,

 

 

 Henry L. Jones, Jr.

 United States Magistrate Judge
