ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL
The matter is before the Court on the plaintiff’s m

otion for appointm ent of counsel.

“‘[A]ppointment of counsel in a civil case is . . . a matter within the discretion of the court. It is a
privilege not a right.’” Childs v. Pellegrin, 822 F.2d 1382, 1384 (6th Cir. 1987) (quoting U.S. v.
Madden, 352 F.2d 792, 793 (9th Cir. 1965)). The plain has failed to present convincing reasons
tiff
as to why this Court should exercise its discretionary power at this time.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the plaintiff’s applicati n for appointment of counsel [dkt
o
#3] is DENIED.
