ANDREW DAVIS, Plaintiff, v. LOWE'S HOME CENTERS, LLC, Defendant.
ORDER
CATHY SEIBEL, U.S.D.J.
On December 13, 2023, I held a show cause conference in the above-captioned matter at which I granted Plaintiff's counsel's request to be relieved. (See Minute Entry dated Dec. 13, 2023.)
The status conference previously scheduled for January 25, 2024 at 11:45 a.m. is adjourned to February 20, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 621. If Plaintiff has retained new counsel by that time, counsel shall appear for Plaintiff. If Plaintiff has not retained counsel, he must appear himself and will proceed pro se (that is, without counsel) until such time as counsel appears on his behalf.
Failure to appear at that conference either personally or through counsel may - unless the Court has excused the appearance in advance - result in sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(f) (sanction for failure to attend a conference or obey a pretrial order) or dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) (failure to prosecute or comply with a court order).
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to: (1) terminate Bruce Cantin and his firm, Brandon J. Broderick LLC, as counsel for Plaintiff; and (2) mail a copy of this Order to Andrew Davis, 333 Capitol Street, Saddle Brook, N.J. 07663.
SO ORDERED.
