ALEXANDER BISTRIKA, Jr., et al.
Plaintiffs,

ORDER
v.
DEPUTY NICHOLAS HUNTER, et al.,
Defendants.
RUSSO, Magistrate Judge:
As noted in the court's order of May 18, 2016 (# 195), a court request for appointment of pro
bono counsel on behalf of the remaining non-indigent plaintiffs is not appropriate. On that same
date, the court set a conference for June 8, 2016, to prepare a schedule for the filing of trial
documents and to set a date for trial. However, in response, the remaining plaintiffs filed a motion
seeking dismissal, stating:
Proceeding without counsel is perceived to be futile, and the Plaintiffs respectfully
refuse to continue to do so. If the Court feels it is reasonable to deny counsel under
the given circumstances, then the Plaintiffs ask for a dismissal of all remaining
claims in this action ....

Plaintiffs' Pro Se Motion (#197) at p. 2. The motion is granted and the scheduling conference set
for June 8, 2016, is vacated.

CONCLUSION
Plaintiffs' motion for dismissal (# 197) is granted. This action is dismissed and the clerk is
directed to enter a judgment.
