On October 27, 2021, the court appointed limited purpose counsel to represent plaintiff. (ECF
No. 56.) Pursuant to the terms of that order, counsel’s appointment terminated on October 25,
2022, when the court ruled on defendant’s March 11, 2021 motion for summary judgment. (ECF
No. 73.)
This case was previously referred to the court’s Post-Screening ADR Project but no settlement
conference was held. (ECF Nos. 30, 33, 34.)
