MICHAEL ADAMS, Plaintiff, v. ANTHONY J. ANNUCCI, et al., Defendants.
DECISION & ORDER
On April 6, 2018, pro se plaintiff Michael Adams ("plaintiff") commenced this action against the defendants pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of plaintiff's constitutional rights while he was incarcerated at Five Points Correctional Facility. (Docket ## 1, 17). Currently pending before this Court is plaintiff's fourth motion seeking appointment of counsel. (Docket ## 69; see also ## 12, 38, 50). Plaintiff's previous requests for appointment of counsel have all been denied, once as premature and twice on the merits. (Docket ## 15, 42, 53). Plaintiff's current motion does not present any information to alter this Court's previous determination. Accordingly, for the reasons in the previous Decisions & Orders (Docket ## 42, 53), plaintiff's request for the appointment of counsel (Docket # 69) is DENIED without prejudice at this time. It is the plaintiff's responsibility to retain an attorney or press forward with this lawsuit pro se. 28 U.S.C. § 1654.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
