Also, I must stress that because I am appointing counsel to represent plaintiff, he may no longer communicate directly with the court about matters pertaining to his case. He m u st work directly with his lawyers and permit them to exercise their professional judgment to determine which matters are appropriate to bring to the court's attention and in what fo rm . Fin ally, plaintiff's counsel should be aware that electronic filing is mandatory in all cou nseled civil cases. Court records indicate that plaintiff's counsel is not registered to use the court's electronic filing system. Information on electronic filing and the court's adm inistrative procedures are available on the court's website, www.wiwd.uscourts.gov, u nd er the CM/ECF heading. Counsel should register for the electronic filing system as soon as possible.
