On February 1, 2021, the parties were ordered to meet and confer before February
17, 2021 regarding the filing of a discovery plan (ECF No. 50). Because the court does
not have plaintiff’s telephone number, plaintiff was ordered to either email or call defense
counsel and was provided contact information to do so (ECF No. 50/51). On April 1,
2021, defense counsel notified the court that plaintiff did not contact counsel to meet and
confer as ordered (ECF No. 53). Plaintiff was released from custody sometime in 2018
(ECF No. 20). The last contact plaintiff made with this court regarding this case was on
June 10, 2019 when he filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis for nonincarcerated plaintiffs (ECF No. 35).
