ORDER
WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge:
On September 4, 2015, attorney Hugh P. McCloskey was appointed to represent Plaintiff
in this matter. After Mr. McCloskey entered an appearance and participated in a telephonic status
conference on October 23, 2014 (Doc. 27), a schedule was entered in this matter (Doc. 32). It
further appears that Mr. McCloskey has been in contact with defense counsel. Nonetheless,
Plaintiff has submitted two affidavits and one Motion for Status indicating that he has had no
contact with Mr. McCloskey since his appointment to this case (Docs. 36, 37, and 39). Plaintiff’s
Motion for Status is STRICKEN (Doc. 39). Plaintiff is represented by counsel and any such
motions should be filed by counsel.
In any event, in light of the impending discovery deadline, this matter is SET for a
telephonic status conference on August 27, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. Defendant shall initiate the
conference call. The parties should be prepared to discuss any outstanding discovery or other
matters.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: August 20, 2015
DONALD G. WILKERSON
United States Magistrate Judge
