CARLOS WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. LORI LAWSON, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ON MOTION FOR STATUS UPDATE AND AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER
Marsha J. Pechman United States Senior District Judge
The Court has received and reviewed Plaintiff's Motion for Status Update, which asks for information on whether the Court has identified pro bono counsel for Plaintiff. (Dkt. No. 182.) Despite the District Court Pro Bono Panel's best efforts over the past three months, no counsel has been identified to represent Plaintiff. The Court has directed the Panel to suspend its search. Plaintiff must proceed pro se in this matter, though he remains free to search for and retain counsel to represent him in this matter.
Because the Court stayed all case deadlines in its April 10, 2023 Order of Reconsideration Re: Motion to Appoint, the existing deadlines must be reset. (See Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 135).) The Court therefore amends the trial date and case schedule as follows:
