Zayd Abdur Rashid, 83-A-4615, Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, Staten Island, NY, Plaintiff, Pro Se.

Office of New York State Attorney General, Edward Thompson, Esq., Syracuse, New York.

ORDER

NORMAN MORDUE, District Judge

Plaintiff's counsel, Jeffrey R. Parry, Esq., has failed to renew his registration to practice in Federal District Court, Northern District of New York. Nor has he timely re-registered with New York State Bar. Accordingly, he is relieved from his representation of plaintiff. Inasmuch as plaintiff wishes to proceed pro se (see Dkt. No. 79), the Court does not stay the matter. Plaintiff may, of course, retain counsel or request appointment of counsel at any time if he so desires.

It is therefore

ORDERED that Jeffrey R. Parry, Esq. is relieved from representation of plaintiff; and it is further

ORDERED that the matter shall go forward without delay with plaintiff acting pro se; and it is further

ORDERED that within 30 days of the date of this Order, defendants' counsel shall arrange a telephone conference between plaintiff and defendants' counsel to finalize the settlement; and it is further

ORDERED that a status report be filed within 10 day after the telephone conference reporting on the settlement progress.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
