MONA MAJZOUB, Magistrate Judge

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for the Appointment of Counsel and for an Extension of Time. (Docket no. 16). Plaintiff fails to state for how long he wishes an extension of time. This motion will be denied. In addition, after considering the appropriate factors, the Court will deny his Motion for the Appointment of Counsel. See Lavado v. Keohane, 992 F.2d 601, 605-06 (6^th Cir. 1993).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for the Appointment of Counsel and for an Extension of Time (docket no. 16) is DENIED.

Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(a), the parties have a period of ten days from the date of this Order within which to file any written appeal to the District Judge as may be permissible under 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1).
