The Clinic is open on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except on days when the Court is closed. Due to COVID-19, the Clinic currently is providing assistance only by appointment and only over the telephone. An unrepresented party can make an appointment by filling out the intake form on the Court's website, see https://nysd.uscourts.gov/attorney/legal-assistance, or by calling 212-659-6190 and leaving a message.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff. In addition, a copy of this Order will be emailed to Plaintiff by Chambers.
SO ORDERED.
