No. 1:12-CV-106-JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Appointment of Counsel and
Affidavit in Support [ECF No. 23]. A review of the docket indicates Plaintiff first requested
appointment of counsel on June 22, 2012. (Doc. No. 4) Plaintiff’s request was considered in
light of relevant factors, see Edwards v. Dwyer, 2008 WL 222511, at *1 (E.D. Mo. Jan. 25,
2008) (citations omitted) and Johnson v. Williams, 788 F.2d 1319, 1322-23 (8th Cir. 1986), and
denied without prejudice on October 31, 2012. (Doc. No. 14) The Court finds nothing in the
record to cause it to reconsider its previous order denying Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of
counsel. Again, this case is neither factually nor legally complex. Moreover, Plaintiff has
demonstrated that she is able to articulate and present her claims.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Appointment of Counsel [23] is
DENIED without prejudice.

Dated the 22nd day of April, 2013.
