| 2020-01-14 | | ORDER granting in part 33 . Regardless of whether plaintiff retains new counsel, current counsel cannot be relieved except by Order of the Court. The Court therefore deems this motion to constitute a motion to withdraw as counsel, and in light of the "complete breakdown in the attorney-client relationship," and counsel and plaintiff's agreement that plaintiff "will voluntarily retain new counsel," the motion to withdraw is granted. The action is stayed for two weeks so that plaintiff can have new counsel appear. As his final act as outgoing counsel, Mr. Campanelli is directed to print out and mail a copy of this Order directly to plaintiff; file proof of such mailing; and in that proof of mailing, list plaintiff's address so that it can be added to the docket. Upon filing of such proof mailing, plaintiff's counsel will be terminated. Plaintiff is advised that as of the date of this Order, he is proceeding without counsel as a pro se litigant. If new counsel does not appear within two weeks and plaintiff does not meet his obligations as a pro se litigant, the action may be dismissed. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 1/14/2020.

| 2020-03-31 | 39 | ORDER re: 38 . The Court has adopted the parties' proposed case management plan (attached), with the exception that there is no date for a summary judgment motion yet. That date will be set in connection with the premotion conference, but the parties should not expect it to be six weeks after that conference (as they proposed); the party seeking summary judgment should have made substantial progress on it prior to the premotion conference. In addition, the Court advises the parties as follows concerning discovery: (1) any impasse that exists after a meet and confer must be brought to the attention of the Court promptly, or the party seeking the discovery will be deemed to have waived it; (2) any discovery dispute that the Court finds the parties should have been able to work out on their own will likely result in an award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party.

| 2020-06-08 | | ORDER re: 44 . Plaintiff's counsel is advised that the Court deems this letter to constitute a suggestion of death upon the record pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(a)(1). Accordingly, if the claim survives plaintiff's death and the representative of plaintiff's estate wishes to substitute into the action, a motion must be made within 90 days. The Court would suggest to plaintiff's counsel that he carefully consider whether it is in the interests of the estate to substitute in, since plaintiff's death may create insurmountable obstacles to any recovery.
