ORDER

By an order (Docket Entry No. 4) entered February 20, 2014, the Court denied plaintiff’s
motion for the appointment of counsel (Docket Entry No. 3).
Since the entry of this order, the plaintiff has filed a motion (Docket Entry No. 8) to
reconsider that decision.
The plaintiff seeks an appointment of counsel because he is indigent and has no legal
training. These are circumstances common to most prisoner plaintiffs. Hence, the plaintiff has failed
to show the type of exceptional circumstances that would warrant an appointment of counsel.
Plaintiff’s motion to reconsider, therefore, lacks merit and is DENIED.
It is so ORDERED.
