PAPERLESS ORDER denying 9 Plaintiff's Motion to Appoint Counsel. A civil litigant has no absolute constitutional right to the appointment of counsel. Dean v. Barber, 951 F.2d 1210, 1216 (11th Cir.1992). The appointment of counsel is instead a privilege that is justified only by exceptional circumstances. Id. Accordingly, Plaintiff's request is denied and Plaintiff's deadline to obtain counsel remains the same. Failure to comply may result in the case being dismissed. Signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart on 4/3/2025. (vbi) (Entered: 04/03/2025)
