ERIN LYNN PETERSON, Plaintiff, v. DR. VISHAL MANHAS, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S REQUESTS FOR STATUS REPORT AND DIRECTING CLERK TO SEND PLAINTIFF COPY OF ORDER GRANTING DEFENSE COUNSEL'S SECOND REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE DISPOSITIONAL DOCUMENTS (ECF NO. 44)
(ECF NOS. 47 & 48)
Erin Lynn Peterson (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On May 26, 2021, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address, which includes a request for “status report as to signatures to obtain from Mr. Manhas.” (ECF No. 47). On May 27, 2021, Plaintiff filed another notice of change of address, in which Plaintiff states that he “would like to know status of proceedings & documents.” (ECF No. 48).
Plaintiff also asks that defense counsel be notified of Plaintiff's new address. The Court notes that defense counsel was notified of Plaintiff's new address when Plaintiff's notice of change of address was filed with the Court.
The Court will deny Plaintiff's requests for a status report because the Court recently addressed the issue. However, because Plaintiff may not have received a copy of the order addressing the issue due to his recent transfer, the Court will direct the Clerk of Court to send Plaintiff a copy of the order granting defense counsel's second request for extension of time to file dispositional documents (ECF No. 44).
Additionally, the Court notes that if Plaintiff wants an update on whether defense counsel has obtained his client's signature on the settlement documents, Plaintiff may write to defense counsel directly to request the information.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's notices of change of address (ECF Nos. 47 & 48), which the Court construes as requests for a status report, are denied; and
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of the order granting defense counsel's second request for extension of time to file dispositional documents (ECF No. 44).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
