DECISION AND ORDER

VICTOR MARRERO, District Judge

Pro se defendant Natalio Conde ("Conde") has applied for the Court to request counsel to represent him in this matter. The threshold consideration in ruling on such an application is the showing of some merit. See Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172-74 (2d Cir. 1989). Conde has not yet met this standard at this stage in the proceeding. If Conde can make such a showing, he may reapply for appointment of counsel.

Accordingly, his application is denied without prejudice.

SO ORDERED.
