Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel
ORDER denying without prejudice DE 6 Motion to Appoint Counsel. The Court possesses broad discretion when determining whether appointment is appropriate, subject to the requirement that it be "guided by sound legal principle." Cooper v. A. Sargenti Co., Inc., 877 F.2d 170, 171-72 (2d Cir. 1989) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Applying the factors in Hodge v. Police Officers, 802 F.2d 58, 61-62 (2d Cir. 1986), the Court is unable, at this juncture, to conclude that the appointment of counsel is warranted. Indeed, Plaintiff has actively participated in drafting her Complaint, the underlying EEOC submissions, and this Motion. The quality of these submissions demonstrates that, at this stage of the litigation, Plaintiff is able to prosecute her case, and that there is no special reason to appoint counsel. Importantly, this case is at an early stage, and Defendant has not yet been served or appeared. At this time, Plaintiff may avail herself of the free resources available through the Hofstra Law Pro Se Legal Assistance Program in the Central Islip Eastern District of New York federal courthouse. The Program can provide free information, advice, and limited scope legal assistance to non-incarcerated pro se litigants. The Court notes that the Program is not part of, or affiliated with, the United States District Court. The Program offers services such as providing brief legal counseling, explaining federal court rules and procedures, and reviewing and editing draft pleadings and correspondence with the Court. This denial is without prejudice, and should circumstances warrant, Plaintiff may renew the application at a later stage in these proceedings. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst on 10/7/2026.
