Opinion
11 Civ. 8142 (JGK)

CHERYL WHITE-GRIER, Plaintiff, v. THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The Court has received the attached correspondence from the plaintiff, which it forwards to the parties. The plaintiff requests that the Court appoint pro bono counsel in her case. However, the Court cannot determine whether the necessary showing for appointment of counsel has been met. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has articulated factors that should guide the Court's discretion to appoint counsel to represent an indigent civil litigant under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. See Hodge v. Police Officers, 802 F.2d 58, 61-62 (2d Cir. 1986); Jackson v. Moscicki, No. 99 Civ. 2427 (JGK), 2000 WL 511642, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 27, 2000). For the Court to order the appointment of counsel, the petitioner must, as a threshold matter, demonstrate that her claim has substance or a likelihood of success on the merits. See Hodge, 802 F.2d at 60-61. Only then can the Court consider the other factors appropriate to determination of whether counsel should be appointed: "plaintiff's ability to obtain representation independently, and her ability to handle the case without assistance in the light of the required factual investigation, the complexity of the legal issues, and the need for expertly conducted cross-examination to test veracity." Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., Inc., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1989). The plaintiff has not yet made such a showing. The plaintiff's application for the Court to appoint counsel is therefore denied without prejudice for failure to make the required showing at this time.
The sixty-day stay imposed by the Court's Order of April 17, 2012 has now expired. The plaintiff informs the Court that she is now proceeding pro se. The plaintiff should advise the Pro Se Office of her address and a phone number at which she can be reached, so that papers can be served directly on her. SO ORDERED. Dated: New York, New York

APPLICATION FOR THE
COURT TO REQUEST
PRO BONO COUNSEL
I, CHERYL WHITE-GRIER (print or type your name) am a party in this case and cannot afford an attorney. I ask the Court to request pro bono counsel to represent me in this action. I understand that even if the Court grants this application, I will receive pro bono counsel only if an attorney through Court's Pro Bono Program volunteers to take my case and that there is no guarantee that an attorney will volunteer to represent me. 1. In support of my application, I provide the following information: (Use additional paper if necessary.)
A. Have you asked the Court to request pro bono counsel in this case before? Jf yes, when were your prior applications filed and what has changed in the status of your case since you last asked the Court to request pro bono counsel?
No, I have not.
B. Requests for pro bono counsel are rarely granted at the early stages of a case and usually not before the Court has issued a decision on the merits of the case. What has happened in your case that demonstrates the potential merit of your case?
I do not have the training to put together merits of the case without an attorney.
I paid an attorney who took my money and removed himself from my case.
I asked the previous attorney to present my case in another legal manner, he refused.
I sought other pro bono attorneys, to no avail.
This is an Estoppel case arid requires an attorney before any other case merits can be presented.
C. Explain why you need an attorney in this case.
I am not formally trained to represent myself in this case.
The charges of Estoppel are charges that I no nothing about and do not know how to defend myself against the Department of Education.
D. Explain what steps you have taken to find an attorney and with what results.
(Please identify the lawyers, law firms or legal clinics you have contacted and their responses to your requests. If you have limited access to the telephone, mail, or other communication methods, or if you otherwise have had difficulty contacting attorneys, please explain.)
I have contacted the Legal Referral Service, to no avail.
I have contacted organizations that represent the under represented, to no avail.
I have contacted law schools
I sought legal representation during the answer and question session for Legal Help Day in May 2012, to no avail, (See the attached sheet of legal assistance I sought.)
E. If you need an attorney who speaks a language other than English, state what language(s) you speak;
I speak English. 2. In further support of my application, I declare that (check appropriate box):
[ ] I have previously filed a Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis in this case, and it is a true and correct representation of my current financial status.
[×] I have not previously filed a Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis in this case, and now attach an original Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis detailing my financial status.
[ ] I have previously filed a Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis in this case, however, my financial status has changed. I have attached another Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis showing my current financial status. 3. I understand that if an attorney volunteers to represent me and that attorney learns that I can afford to pay for an attorney, the attorney may give this information to the Court. 4. I understand that if my answers on this application are false, my case may be dismissed. 5. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
