ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF PRO BONO COUNSEL

This matter is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff Lisa Kay Brumfiel’s Motion for
the Court to Place Plaintiff on Clerk’s List of Pro Bono Volunteer Attorney Assistance
Program. (ECF No. 176.) The Court has reviewed the following factors and
considerations:
1) the nature and complexity of the action;
2) the potential merit of the pro se party’s claims;
3) the demonstrated inability of the pro se party to retain counsel by other means; and
4) the degree to which the interests of justice will be served by appointment of
counsel, including the benefit the Court may derive from the assistance of the
appointed counsel.
See Gross v. Gen. Motors LLC, 441 F. App’x 562, 567 (10th Cir. 2011) (citing Williams
v. Meese, 926 F.2d 994, 996 (10th Cir. 1991)). After review of these factors, the Court
finds that appointment of counsel is not warranted in the instant case. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion (ECF No. 176) is DENIED.

Dated this 23rd day of July, 2013.

BY THE COURT:
