CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:07-CV-262-MHT [WO]

ORDER ON MOTION The plaintiff filed motions for appointment of counsel in this case (Court Doc. No. 3 and Court Doc. No. 10). The court notes that the facts underlying the plaintiff's claims for relief are relatively simple and the law applicable to such claims is not complex. Moreover, the pleadings filed in this case establish that the plaintiff is capable of presenting the necessary elements of his claims to this court and fail to demonstrate that there are exceptional circumstances justifying appointment of counsel. See Bass v. Perrin, 170 F.3d 1312, 1320 (11th Cir. 1999); Kilgo v. Ricks, 983 F.2d 189, 193 (11th Cir. 1993); Dean v. Barber, 951 F.2d 1210, 1216 (11th Cir. 1992). Accordingly, to the extent such motions are before this court for disposition, it is ORDERED that the motions for appointment of counsel be and are hereby DENIED. Done this 27th day of March, 2007.
