A L A B A M A DEPARTMENT OF CO RR EC TIO NS , et al., Defendants. _______________________________ O R D E R ON MOTION P e n d i n g before the court is Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel. (Doc. No. 4.) Plaintiff's request for representation has been read, considered, and the same shall be d e n i e d . The court finds from its review of the complaint that Plaintiff is able to adequately articulate the facts and grounds for relief in the instant matter without notable difficulty.

T h e r e f o r e, in the exercise of its discretion, the court shall deny Plaintiff's request for a p p o i n t m e n t of counsel at this time. The request may be reconsidered if warranted by further d e v e l o p m e n t s in this case.
