ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO ALLOW THE TAKING OF PLAINTIFF'S DEPOSITION IN PRISON AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S RENEWED MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

DONALD SCHEER, Magistrate Judge

This cause comes before the Court on Defendants' Motion to Allow the Taking of Plaintiff's Deposition in Prison, dated January 14, 2009 (Docket #20). Defendants' Motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff's Renewed Motion for Appointment of Counsel, dated February 2, 2009 (Docket #22), is DENIED. In an Order denying Plaintiff's earlier Application for Appointment of Counsel, dated December 5, 2008 (Docket #13), the court ruled that any appointment of counsel in this case was premature until the viability of Plaintiff's case was determined. If this case survives summary judgment, Plaintiff can seek appointment of counsel.

The Court is returning to Plaintiff a motion that was not filed with the Clerk's Office, but was instead mailed directly to chambers. Plaintiff is hereby Ordered to file all future motions and pleadings with the Clerk's Office, with copies to opposing counsel and the magistrate judge, as outlined in the local court rules.

SO ORDERED.
