WILSON v. BOYD et al Doc. 19 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY CHAMBERS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING COURTHOUSE 50 WALNUT ST. ROOM 2064 NEWARK, NJ 07101 973-645-3827 STEVEN C. MANNION UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE May 31, 2018 LETTER OPINION-ORDER Re: D.E. 18, Motion to Appoint Pro Bono Counsel WILSON v. BOYD et al Civil Action 17-cv-07943 (SDW)(SCM) Dear Litigants: This matter comes before the Court upon review of Plaintiff Shamar Wilson’s (“Mr. Wilson”) Motion to Appoint Pro Bono Counsel. 1 The Court has reviewed Mr. Wilson’s Motion and for the reasons set forth herein it is denied. This Court denied Mr. Wilson’s previous motion for the appointment of pro bono counsel 2 after analyzing the Tabron 3 factors. Mr. Wilson’s second motion to appoint pro bono counsel does not provide any new information that would change the Court’s analysis. Here, Mr. Wilson repeats the same arguments. Because Mr. Wilson’s motion is duplicative of his prior motion, 4 the Court denies this motion for the same reasons it outlined in its Letter Order 5 on Mr. Wilson’s first motion. The Court is, as always, sympathetic to any disadvantages of the parties that come before it. Accordingly, the Court will closely monitor the considerations raised by Mr. Wilson’s Motion for Pro Bono Counsel throughout case management and, as the case moves forward, it may exercise its discretion to appoint counsel sua sponte should any of the above discussed considerations change. 6 As the Tabron factors weigh against appointment for Mr. Wilson’s first motion, the Court 1 (ECF Docket Entry No. (“D.E.”) 18, Pl.’s Mot. ). 2 (D.E. 10, Order, December 22, 2017). 3 Tabron v. Grace, 6 F.3d 147, 156 (3d Cir. 1993). 4 (D.E. 4,Pl.’s Mot.). 5 (D.E. 10, Order, December 22, 2017). 6 See Tabron, 6 F.3d at 156; Christy, 216 F. Supp. 2d at 406. Dockets.Justia.com will deny Mr. Wilson’s second motion as well. The Clerk of the Court shall mail a copy of this decision to Mr. Wilson. IT SO ORDERED. 5/31/2018 2:37:56 PM Original: Clerk of the Court Hon. Susan D. Wigenton, U.S.D.J. cc: All parties File SHAMAR WILSON J201606204/517203E 31 PETTICOAT LANE ANNANDALE, NJ 08801 2
