United States District Judge
Curtis Ivy, Jr.
United States Magistrate Judge

ORDER RESCINDING REQUEST FOR PRO BONO COUNSEL
After granting Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of pro bono counsel,
Plaintiff withdrew his motion. (ECF No. 281). So the Court rescinds the request
for pro bono counsel and lifts the stay.
Plaintiff maintained his request for an extension of time to respond to the
government’s motion for summary judgment given his recent move to a halfway
house. (Id.). The Court will keep the extended due date from the Order granting
appointment of counsel—Plaintiff’s response is due no later than April 25, 2025.
No extension to this deadline will be given. If Plaintiff does not submit his
response on or before this date, the undersigned will evaluate the merits of the
government’s motion without a response from Plaintiff.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The parties here may object to and seek review of this Order, but are
required to file any objections within 14 days of service as provided for in Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) and Local Rule 72.1(d). A party may not assign as
error any defect in this Order to which timely objection was not made. Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72(a). Any objections are required to specify the part of the Order to which
the party objects and state the basis of the objection. When an objection is filed to
a magistrate judge’s ruling on a non-dispositive motion, the ruling remains in
effect unless it is stayed by the magistrate judge or a district judge. E.D. Mich.
Local Rule 72.2.

Date: March 5, 2025
