ORDER ON MOTION

Pending before the court is Plaintiff's May 10, 2006 pleading which the court

construes as a Motion for Appointment of Counsel. (Doc. No. 6.) 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 courtshall 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 ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel

(Doc. No. 6), is DENIED.
