YOLANDA ESTELLE GREEN, Plaintiff, v. CONSUMER CREDIT COUNSELING SERVICES OF ROCHESTER; LISA HOCHLANDER, DIRECTOR OF COUNSELING; JASON TRACY, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER; MICHAEL RILEY, DIRECTOR OF STAFF and STACI, STAFF; Defendants.
DECISION and ORDER
Plaintiff has requested appointment of counsel (Docket No. 3). There is no constitutional right to appointed counsel in civil cases. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the Court may appoint counsel to assist indigent litigants. See, e.g., Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Charles W. Sears Real Estate, Inc., 865 F.2d 22, 23 (2d Cir.1988). Plaintiff was denied permission to proceed as a poor person because she was not indigent. The application for appointment of counsel is, therefore, denied.
SO ORDERED. DATED: Rochester, New York
