D.D.B., Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Proceedings Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 Before the U.S. Magistrate Judge
ORDER
Charles H. Weigle, United States Magistrate Judge.
Pro se Plaintiff D.D.B. again seeks the appointment of counsel to represent him in this Social Security Appeal. (Doc. 13). The Court denied Plaintiff's first request and explained that no right to counsel exists in a civil case. (Doc. 9). Plaintiff has not demonstrated that appointment of counsel is necessary in this case. For reasons explained in the order denying Plaintiff's previous motion, Plaintiff's motion for the appointment of counsel (Doc. 13) is DENIED.
Plaintiff is reminded that should it later become apparent that legal assistance is required to avoid prejudice to Plaintiff's rights, then the Court, on its own motion, will consider assisting Plaintiff in securing legal counsel at that time.
SO ORDERED.
