MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

RONNIE L. WHITE, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Appointment of Counsel. (ECFNo. 5)

There is no constitutional or statutory right to appointed counsel in a civil case. Nelson v. Redfield Lithograph Printing, 728 F.2d 1003, 1004 (8th Cir. 1984). In determining whether to appoint counsel, courts consider factors that include whether the plaintiff has presented nonfrivolous allegations supporting his prayer for relief, whether the plaintiff will substantially benefit from the appointment of counsel, whether there is a need to further investigate and present the facts related to the plaintiffs allegations, and whether the factual and legal issues presented by the action are complex. See Battle v. Armantrout, 902 F.2d 701, 702 (8th Cir. 1990); Johnson v. Williams, 788 F.2d 1319, 1322-23 (8th Cir. 1986); Nelson, 728 F.2d at 1005.

After considering Petitioner's Motion for Appointment of Counsel, in view of the relevant factors, the Court finds that the facts and legal issues presented in the instant case are not so complex as to warrant the appointment of counsel at this time. In addition, the pleadings filed by John Coleman, indicate that he is capable of presenting the facts and legal issues without the assistance of counsel. Petitioner's Motion for Appointment of Counsel will therefore be denied.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for Appointment of Counsel (ECF No. 5) is DENIED without prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall substitute Richard Jennings as the proper respondent in this action.
