v.

ANTHONY GAINES, Deputy
Sheriff, Greene County, Arkansas

DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Erwin's motion to appoint counsel, NQ 25, is denied without
prejudice. Erwin has adequately represented himself thus far. And the
law and facts aren't so complex here as to warrant appointing counsel
at this stage. Plummer v. Grimes, 87 F.3d 1032, 1033 (8th Cir. 1996). To
the extent Erwin wants the Court's help in getting documents, that
request is denied without prejudice. Erwin must first seek documents
from Gaines, pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure, NQ 15 at 2.
So Ordered.
D.P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
