On March 11, 2020, plaintiff filed two motions to terminate his counsel. ECF Nos. 100,

19

101. Plaintiff’s counsel was terminated on August 2, 2019, as counsel had been appointed solely

20

for the purposes of settlement. Plaintiff further requests that the dispositive motions deadline be

21

vacated because he does not wish to file any motion, go to trial, or participate in discovery and

22

would like the case to go to settlement. ECF No. 101. Formal settlement has been attempted

23

without success. ECF No. 93. Plaintiff—the party who filed this action—cannot litigate without

24

complying with certain requirements. Thus, plaintiff’s motions are denied as moot and for failure

25

to provide good cause. ECF Nos. 100, 101.
