ORDER DENYING APPLICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL (#5, #6)
Plaintiffs Julia Troupe and Barbara Smith, appearing pro per, each filed applications for appointment of counsel on March 21, 2006 in this civil action challenging the propriety of certain mortgage charges under federal law.

Wellman, 313 F.3d 963, 970 (6th Cir. 2002) (citing Iannaccone v. Law, 142 F.3d 553, 556 (2d. Cir. 1998)). Accordingly,
Plaintiffs' applications for appointment of counsel are hereby DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
