ROBERT ANNABEL, Plaintiff, v. JACK FROST, et al., Defendants.
Robert H. Cleland District Judge
STATUS CONFERENCE ORDER
ANTHONY P. PATTI UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
A status conference was held today by Zoom. The parties do not believe that a settlement conference would be fruitful in light of prior communications, although the Court will plan to discuss settlement at the eventual final pretrial conference. The parties agreed on the record that Plaintiff's only remaining claim is for First Amendment retaliation against the following remaining defendants: Frost, Steven Kindinger, S. Campbell, J. Eaton, and K. McConnell. Plaintiff will continue to proceed in pro per and be prepared to try the case as such, unless new counsel can be located for him. Plaintiff will promptly provide updated contact information when he moves and/or obtains a new phone. The Attorney General will promptly file an appearance for Defendant McConnell. All motions in limine must be filed or re-filed on or before Wednesday, May 11, 2022, or they will not be considered. Once motions in limine have been fully briefed, the Court will set: (1) a hearing date on the motion(s); (2) a final pretrial conference, likely for the same day; and, (3) a deadline for submitting a proposed joint final pretrial order, jury instructions and verdict form in advance of the final pretrial conference. Once the case has been certified for trial, the trial judge will set the trial date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
