As the Court noted in its prior order, Plaintiff’s request for relief arising out of his dissatisfaction
with his counsel in his on-going criminal trial in state court, and judicial rulings related thereto, is not
properly addressed in this forum. Docket No. 5 at 1 (citing, inter alia, Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 44
(1971)). The Court similarly notes that allegations made in the most recent filing regarding Plaintiff’s state
court counsel are not properly addressed in this forum.
