IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

TIMOTHY CROWLEY,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
v.
15-cv-6-wmc
STUN-TECH INC., et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Timothy Crowley filed this civil action alleging that a Remote
Electronically Activated Control Technology Belt (“REACT Shock Belt”) shocked and
severely injured him after activating on its own accord. At plaintiff’s request, the court
has recruited counsel Tim Casper of the law firm of Murphy Desmond for the limited
purpose of assisting plaintiff with drafting an amended complaint which clarifies his
claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1) (“The court may request an attorney to represent any
person unable to afford counsel.”); Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 653-54 (7th Cir. 2007)
(en banc) (noting that § 1915(e)(1) confers, at most, discretion “to recruit a lawyer to
represent an indigent civil litigant pro bono publico”). Accordingly, the court will enter her
appearance as plaintiff’s pro bono counsel for the record.
Entered this 22nd day of June, 2016.
BY THE COURT:
