remind him not to communicate directly with the Court. Nevertheless, Plaintiff sent the Court
yet another letter.
The Court is enclosing with this Order each of the letters it has received from Plaintiff to

request to pro bono trial counsel [ECF #126], Plaintiff is now represented by counsel and must
