Seventh Circuit: Joshua Howard v. William Pollard

Prison overcrowding -  class certification.

Denial of class certification and appointment of counsel upheld.  Although presence of counsel would make the class representative a more adequate plaintiff, denial of counsel does not prejudice the consideration of class certification, as counsel is provided to prosecute the claim, not ensure the adequacy of the representative.

Per curiam.
