RUDOLPH CONTRERAS, United States District Judge
On August 26, 2014, Plaintiff, Nadia Mokhtar, filed a motion for appointment of counsel. See ECF No. 89. In that motion, Ms. Mokhtar states that she has consulted with three potential attorneys, but she did not hire any of them because she "has never had the kind of money needed to pay the fees these lawyers are asking [for]." Id. Ms. Mokhtar also asserts that she is a "direct-hire full-time Government employee," but she does not provide her salary or any other financial information. See id.
A civil plaintiff is not guaranteed counsel. See Gaviria…
