Docket Date: 12/17/04
MINUTE ORDER of 12/16/04 by Hon. Samuel Der-Yeghiayan: This
matter is before the court on defendant Shawn Derifield's
("Derifield") request for appointment of counsel. On
10/06/04, Derifield, a prisoner, filed an answer to
plaintiffs' complaint in this action. Within his answer,
Derifield included a two sentence request that the court
appoint him an attorney in this action. Because Derifield
is proceeding pro se, we will construe his request as a
motion for appointment of counsel. A civil litigant does
not have a right to appointed counsel. Forbes v. Edgar, 112
F.3d262,264 (7th Cir. 1997). However, a court in its
discretion, can appoint counsel for indigents in a civil
action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(e)(1). In support
of his motion for appointment of counsel, Derifield claims
that he is indigent and in need of an attorney so his
rights can be adequately represented. However, Derifield
has not submitted sufficient and complete information in
order to properly adjudicate his motion for appointment of
counsel. Specifically, Derifield has not submitted an in
forma pauperis application and financial affidavit with a
statement certified by the appropriate institutional
officer or officers showing all of his receipts,
expenditures and balances during the last six months in his
prison or jail trust accounts. Such documents are
neccessary in order to determine whether Derifield is
indigent. Therefore, Derifield's motion for appointment of
counsel is denied without prejudice. Mailed notice

upon proper service. If plaintiff believes he qualifies for
court-appointed counsel, he should file such a motion which
details his economic circumstances and his prior efforts to
