ORDER ON MOTION

The plaintiff filed a motion for appointment of counsel on January 9, 2007 (Court Doc.

No. 16). The court again 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

and documents filed by the plaintiff 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 10th day of January, 2007.
