NELSON DELGIUDICE, JR, Plaintiff v. Officer JARVIS PRIMUS, et. al., Defendants
PROCEEDINGS UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 1983
BEFORE THE U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
ORDER ON SECOND MOTION
FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL
Plaintiff Nelson Delgiudice, Jr., a prisoner proceeding pro se in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action, has now filed his second "Motion for Appointment of Counsel" (ECF No. 10). As the Court explained in its prior Order (ECF No. 7), Plaintiff's requests for legal assistance are premature. Until such time as the Court has an opportunity to review the responsive pleadings, it cannot properly evaluate Plaintiff's need for counsel. However, if it later becomes apparent that counsel should be appointed in this case, after due consideration of the complexity of the issues raised or their novelty, Poole v. Lambert, 819 F.2d 1025 (11th Cir. 1987), the Court will entertain a renewed motion. Until then, Plaintiff's request for court-appointed counsel is DENIED.
