Case No. 2:15-cv-01670-APG-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 87)

16

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for spoliation sanctions, filed while he was appearing

17

pro se. Docket No. 87. The Court previously held that motion in abeyance in light of the on-going process

18

to obtain counsel for Plaintiff through the pro bono pilot program. Docket No. 88. Counsel has now

19

appeared. Docket No. 93. The Court finds it in the interest of justice to therefore DENY the motion for

20

sanctions without prejudice. Cf. Docket No. 83 (finding counsel should be obtained so that Plaintiff can

21

better present arguments to the Court). The Court reminds Plaintiff’s newly-appearing counsel that the

22

deadline to file discovery motions (including the motion for discovery sanctions) is April 26, 2017. See

23

id. at 2-3.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
