Trial Court Opinion

[uspcspyy ee | | OCUMENT MEMORANDUM ENDORSEMENT | ELECTRONICALLY bila PpOC#e ot Starkes v, Byrd etal, etm 9126 |) 4 CV 7270 (VB) In the attached undated submissions, plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, requests the Court appoint him pro bono counsel (Doc. #13) and extend his time to comply with the Court’s November 13, 2019, Order to amend his complaint (Doc. #14). In his request for counsel, plaintiff states he “does not possess the skills to read or write” or “comprehend the full scope of his rights.” (Doc. #13).

Plaintiff's request for appointment of pro bono counsel is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

The Court has considered the type and complexity of this case, the merits of plaintiff's claims, and plaintiff's ability to present the case. Plaintiffs assertions that he cannot comprehend the scope of his rights, and is unable to read or write to prosecute this action, are belied by his activity and filings in this case and others. See, e.g., Starkes v. Rikers Island Corr.

Facility, 19CV4017 (CM). At this time, the Court does not find any exceptional circumstances in plaintiff's case that would warrant the appointment of counsel. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1); Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., 877 F.2d 170, 172 (2d Cir. 1989).

Plaintiff's request for an extension of time to submit his amended complaint is DENIED.

Plaintiff already filed an amended complaint, dated November 26, 2019. (Doc. #9).

Accordingly, plaintiff does not require an extension of time to comply with the November 13 Order to amend.

The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).

The Clerk is directed to terminate the motions. (Docs. ##13, 14).

The Clerk is further directed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket.
