CIVIL NO. 2:15-CV-274-DBH

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S APPEAL OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
RULING DENYING MOTION TO APPOINT COUNSEL
On July 21, 2015, the United States Magistrate Judge entered his Order
denying the plaintiff’s motion to appoint counsel. The plaintiff filed an appeal of
the Magistrate Judge’s ruling on July 29, 2015. I have read the complaint, the
motion to appoint counsel and the Magistrate Judge’s ruling. I find that the
plaintiff appears able to state his claims clearly and without confusion, that the
Magistrate Judge’s ruling is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law at this
early stage of the case, and that the plaintiff can renew his motion if the case
later shows the need for appointment of counsel.
Accordingly, the plaintiff’s appeal of the Magistrate Judge’s Order is
OVERRULED.
SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 3RD DAY OF AUGUST, 2015
/S/D. BROCK HORNBY
