Filing 54

ORDER Denying Plaintiff's 49 Motion for the Appointment of Legal Aid and Denying 52 Motion for the Appointment of Legal Counsel. Signed by District Judge Matthew F. Leitman. (HMon)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DWAYNE STRINGER,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 17-cv-10999
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman

v.
FYRE, SHIELFIED AND KING,
Defendants.
_______________________________________________________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONS FOR THE
APPOINTMENT OF LEGAL AID (ECF #49) AND THE
APPOINTMENT OF LEGAL COUNSEL (ECF #52)
Plaintiff Dwayne Stringer is a state prisoner confined at the Macomb Correctional
Facility in New Haven, Michigan. He has filed numerous lawsuits in this District. On
January 31, 2018, the Court dismissed this action without prejudice on the ground that
Stringer failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. (See Dismissal Order, ECF #42.) At
that point the case was closed. Nonetheless, on December 21, 2018, Stringer filed a motion
for the appointment of legal aid and, on February 25, 2019, he filed a motion to appoint
counsel. Because this case has been closed and because the Court does not believe the
relief sought is appropriate at this time, Stringer’s motions for the appointment of legal aid
(ECF #49) and counsel (ECF #52) are DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
