Case No. 2:15-cv-01670-APG-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 29)

16

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel. Docket No. 29. One

17

aspect of that motion centers on Plaintiff’s ability to review audio and video obtained through discovery,

18

and Defendants have recently indicated that they are “prepared to make reasonable accommodations, if any

19

are necessary, to ensure that the files are disclosed in an accessible format.” Docket No. 50 at 3. It appears

20

the meet-and-confer process has begun on that front, see id., and the Court orders the parties to further

21

explore the steps necessary to ensure Plaintiff has access to any audio or video he obtains in discovery. To

22

that end, the parties shall file a joint status report by no later than October 12, 2016. This joint status report

23

shall be limited to the issue of whether Plaintiff has obtained the ability to review audio and video obtained

24

in discovery. In the interim, the Court DEFERS ruling on the motion for appointment of counsel.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
