Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel
Text Order DENYING 2 Motion to Appoint Counsel entered by Judge Richard B. Farrer. Courts are not required to appoint counsel for an indigent plaintiff asserting a claim under Section 1983 unless the case presents exceptional circumstances. Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir.1982). And an indigent plaintiff is ineligible for appointment of counsel unless the district court determines that his claims meet a threshold level of plausibility. Naranjo v. Thompson, 809 F.3d 793, 799 (5th Cir. 2015). The Court cannot, on the live pleading, determine that Plaintiffs claims meet a threshold level of plausibility, or that any exceptional circumstances would warrant an appointment of counsel. Appointment of counsel is therefore unwarranted at this time. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (NWlc)
