A District Court Considering An Indigent Plaintiff's Request For Counsel Must First Consider Whether The Plaintiff Has Made Reasonable Attempts To Secure Counsel On His Own Or Been Effectively Precluded From Doing So; And, If So, Whether The Difficulty Of The Case Factually And Legally Exceeds His Capacity As A Layperson To Present It. Id. At 654-655. The First Prong Of The Analysis Is A Threshold Question. If A Plaintiff Has Not Made A Reasonable Attempt To Obtain Counsel On His Own, The Court Should Deny The Request. Id. At 655. Here, Plaintiff Has Not Demonstrated Reasonable Efforts To Locate Counsel On His Own, And, Therefore, After Consideration Of The Pruitt Factors, The Motion For Recruitment Of Counsel Is Denied. If Plaintiff's Complaint Survives Section 1915a Review, He May Renew His Request For Counsel, Attaching Rejection Letters From At Least 3 Attorneys, To Demonstrate That He Has Made Reasonable Efforts To Obtain Counsel On His Own.
