ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff’s “Motion for Scheduling Order
and Motion for the Appointment of Counsel” (document # 89).
The parties recently participated in a PSAP mediation which resulted in an impasse. See
document #88. The Clerk’s office has issued a Notice directing the parties to conduct the Initial
Attorney’s Conference.
Plaintiff cites no applicable authority supporting his request for court appointed counsel in
a civil case. Moreover, the Court is not aware of any case law, statute, Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure, or Local Rule requiring the appointment of counsel in a civil case such as the one
brought by Plaintiff, and no funds have been appropriated for that purpose.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. Plaintiff’s “Motion for Scheduling Order and Motion for the Appointment of Counsel”
(document # 89) is DENIED.
2. The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff, to defense
counsel, and to the Honorable Robert J. Conrad, Jr.
