MINUTE ENTRY


Plaintiff in the captioned matter has filed a motion for appointment of counsel. Record Doc. No. 29. "A district court should appoint counsel in a civil rights case only if presented with exceptional circumstances."Norton v. E.U. Dimazana, 122 F.3d 286, 293 (5th Cir. 1997). Having also considered the factors suggested in Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 213 (5th Cir. 1982),

IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED. I find that the case is not complex and the plaintiff is capable of adequately presenting it. As a direct participant in the events that allegedly formed the basis of his complaint, he has been in a position adequate to investigate the case. It appears that the evidence that may be presented is simple and will require no particular skill in its presentation.
