UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
ROBERT ANNABEL,
Case No. 3:14-cv-10244
District Judge Robert H. Cleland
Magistrate Judge Anthony P. Patti

Plaintiff,
v.
JACK FROST, et al.,
Defendants.
_________________________/

STATUS CONFERENCE ORDER
A status conference was held today by Zoom. The parties do not believe that a
settlement conference would be fruitful in light of prior communications, although
the Court will plan to discuss settlement at the eventual final pretrial conference.
The parties agreed on the record that Plaintiff’s only remaining claim is for First
Amendment retaliation against the following remaining defendants: Frost, Steven
Kindinger, S. Campbell, J. Eaton, and K. McConnell. Plaintiff will continue to
proceed in pro per and be prepared to try the case as such, unless new counsel can
be located for him. Plaintiff will promptly provide updated contact information
when he moves and/or obtains a new phone. The Attorney General will promptly
file an appearance for Defendant McConnell. All motions in limine must be filed
or re-filed on or before Wednesday, May 11, 2022, or they will not be considered.
Once motions in limine have been fully briefed, the Court will set: (1) a hearing

date on the motion(s); (2) a final pretrial conference, likely for the same day; and,
(3) a deadline for submitting a proposed joint final pretrial order, jury instructions
and verdict form in advance of the final pretrial conference. Once the case has
been certified for trial, the trial judge will set the trial date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 7, 2022
