Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided June 3, 1981No. 79-1760PublishedCited by 307 opinions
1Per curiam
Plaintiff Jerome Maclin, a prisoner at the Indiana State Prison, sued prison Medical Services Administrator Dr. Ronald Freake, alleging Dr. Freake’s deliberate indifference to Maclin’s serious medical needs violated Maclin’s eighth amendment rights. Maclin sought one million dollars in damages, but no injunctive or declaratory relief. Maclin also requested that counsel be appointed to represent him. Judge Sharp denied the request, stating appointment is a privilege, not a right and is a matter within the district court’s discretion. Maclin proceeded pro se.
