CELIA VENTURA, Plaintiff, v. KEITH MITCHELL, Defendant.
ORDER
JAMES L. COTT, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The parties have now consented to the undersigned for all purposes. Dkt. No. 15. Before the Court can schedule a conference, defendant, who appears to be proceeding pro se, needs to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the complaint. If he needs assistance, he can contact the NYLAG Legal Clinic for Pro Se Litigants in the Southern District of New York by making an appointment either through NYLAG's website, https://nylag.org/pro-se-clinic/, or by calling (212) 659-6190. Defendant should file his response to the complaint no later than September 10. Once defendant has formally appeared, the Court will schedule a conference, and, if the parties request, issue a referral to the Court's mediation program given their expressed interest in early mediation in a prior submission to Judge Schofield. Dkt. No. 11. Plaintiff shall serve a copy of this Order on defendant by email or other means and file proof of service.
SO ORDERED.
