ORDER

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
Today, the Court received an e-mail from Plaintiff Gail Martin, who voluntarily
dismissed her claims on December 20, 2019, see 17-CV-6273, ECF No. 98, in which she appears
to complain about the amount of her settlement and delay in payment (and makes some
allegations about counsel’s handling of the matter). The Court cannot and will not respond to
Ms. Martin because she is represented by counsel and because it is inappropriate for the Court to
communicate with an individual party, let alone to do so on an informal basis.
No later than July 3, 2020, Ms. Martin’s counsel — which appears to be Langdon &
Emison LLC — shall provide a copy of this Order to her and file proof of such service. Further,
counsel shall attempt to provide Ms. Martin with whatever assistance she needs (and, if
appropriate, advise her that she may retain other counsel or proceed pro se, that is, without
counsel). Finally, counsel should advise Ms. Martin that all communications with the Court
should be through counsel. If Ms. Martin elects to proceed without counsel, communications
should be mailed to the Pro Se Intake Unit, 40 Centre Street, Room 105, New York, NY 10007.

SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 26, 2020
New York, New York
