Upon review of plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel and the documents on file and good cause appearing therefor, the court finds as follows: 1. Plaintiff has made substantial efforts to obtain legal representation and has been unable to do so. Further efforts to obtain the services of counsel without order of this court would be futile; 2. Plaintiff's income is 125 percent or less of the current poverty threshold established by the Office of Management and Budget of the United States and is otherwise without resources to obtain counsel;
