The plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis which means he did not have to pay the filing fee because he could not afford it. He is also appearing pro se, which means he is representing himself. Plaintiff, may, but is not required to retain an attorney to represent him. A discovery plan and scheduling order has been entered which establishes deadlines for the parties to complete discovery, designate experts and file motions with the court. However, no deadline has been imposed for plaintiff to decide whether or not to hire an attorney. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's requests (Dkt. #27, 28) are DENIED as moot. Dated this 1st day of November, 2010. ___________________________________ PEGGY A. LEEN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE JOAQUIN G.
