ORDER

This cause is before the Court on Petitioner’s Memorandum filed by counsel (Doc.
22). On February 16, 2016, the Court appointed Linda McDermott for the limited purpose
of consulting with Petitioner regarding his Motion to Appoint Counsel and Motion to
Strike Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 22). The Court directed counsel to confer
with Petitioner and file an appropriate memorandum regarding the matters. Id.
Although counsel has filed a memorandum as instructed by this Court, there is no
indication that counsel met with Petitioner or personally consulted with him regarding
the issues referenced in the February 16, 2016 Order. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that
counsel is directed to personally meet with Petitioner and consult with him regarding his
Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 2) and Motion to Strike Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus (Doc. 7). Counsel shall have SIXTY (60) DAYS to then submit motions or
recommendations indicating whether Petitioner is in agreement with or opposes the
relief sought in the memorandum (Doc. 29).

DONE AND ORDERED in Orlando, Florida this 27th day of April, 2016.
