Timothy Nelson v. Dorn Shuffman Diane McFarland Karen Adams Alan Blake Martha Bellew-Smith Linda Meade , 476 F.3d 635 ( 2007 )

PER CURIAM.

Timothy Nelson appeals the district court’s¹ denial of his motion for appointment of counsel. The district court’s denial of counsel is affirmed at this time, but the denial is without prejudice to Timothy Nelson’s right to renew his request for counsel as the case progresses. In any future orders which may deny requests for counsel, the district court is directed to state in more detail its reasons for doing so. See Slaughter v. City of Maplewood, 731 F.2d 587, 589 (8th Cir.1984) (discussing the need for the record to reveal “whether the district court exercised a reasoned and well-informed discretion, so as to permit ... review for abuse of discretion”).

1 . The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
