ORDER
D.P. MARSHALL JR, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Motion to lift stay, Doc. 37, granted. Defendants and all but one of the claimants are represented by Larry Jarrett. At the sentencing hearing in the related criminal case, he said that he intended to immediately retire from practicing law. According to the United States, he has retired. Doc. 37 at note 1. But Mr. Jarrett hasn't asked to withdraw from this case. The Bryant sisters are all incarcerated. And, regardless, they can't represent the defendant properties. None of the Bryant sisters are lawyers.
The lawyers should confer about how they'd like to proceed. Mr. Jarrett must confirm his retirement and must file a motion to withdraw. Joint status report from the lawyers, including Mr. Jarrett, due by 22 March 2024.
So Ordered.
