| 2016-08-19 | 7 | ORDER: The Court grants Plaintiff's amended in forma pauperis petition 6 and therefore Plaintiff need not pay the filing fee. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for appointment of counsel without prejudice 5 . Indigent civil litigants have no absolute constitutional or statutory right to be represented by counsel in federal court. McKeever v. Israel, 689 F.2d 1315, 1318 (7th Cir. 1982). Accordingly, courts rarely appoint counsel in civil cases. Id. Having considered the merits of Plaintiff's claim for relief, her ability to investigate the facts and present her case, the legal issues raised by the Complaint, and Plaintiff's filings thus far, the Court finds that Plaintiff is currently capable of representing herself.
