Description

A trial court is not required to appoint counsel for an indigent plaintiff asserting an action under 42 U.S.C. ? 1983 unless the case presents exceptional circumstances. Since the district court did not base its decision to deny counsel on whether such circumstances existed, we remand to permit it to make that determination and with contingent directions to hold a new trial in the event it so finds.
