IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA NORTHERN DIVISION _______________________________ DAVID COOPER, #7743 Plaintiff, v. D.T. MARSHAL, et al., * * * * 2:06-CV-418-MHT (WO)

Defendants. * _______________________________

ORDER ON MOTION
P e n d in g before the court is Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel. (Doc. No. 7 .) Plaintiff's request for representation has been read, considered, and the same shall be d e n ied . The court finds from its review of the complaint that Plaintiff is able to adequately a rtic u la te the facts and grounds for relief in the instant matter without notable difficulty. F u r th e rm o re , the court concludes that Plaintiff's complaint is not of undue complexity and th a t he has not shown that there are exceptional circumstances justifying appointment of co u n sel. See Killian v. Holt, 166 F.3d 1156, 1157 (11th Cir.1999); Kilgo v. Ricks, 983 F.2d 1 8 9 , 193 (11th Cir. 1993); see also Fowler v. Jones, 899 F.2d 1088, 1096 (11th Cir. 1990). T h e re fo re , in the exercise of its discretion, the court shall deny Plaintiff's request for a p p o in tm e n t of counsel at this time. The request may be reconsidered if warranted by further d e ve lo p m e n ts in this case.
