ORDER ON MOTION

Plaintiff filed a Motion for Appointment of Counsel on August 5, 2005. (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 t he comp laint that Plaintiff is able to adequately

articulate the facts and grounds for relief in the instant matter without not able difficulty.

Furthermore, the court concludes t hat Plaint iff's complaint is not of undue complexity and

that he has not shown that there are exceptional circumstances justifying appoint ment 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.
