Counsel will file a Notice of Limited Appearance as Pro Bono Counsel. For the foregoing reasons, the Clerk of Court is directed to attempt to locate pro bono counsel to represent Plaintiff for the limited purposes described ab ove. The Court advises Plaintiff that there are no funds to retain counsel in civil cases and the Court relies on volunteers. Due to a scarcity of volunteer attorneys, a lengthy period of time may pass before counsel volunteers to represent Plaint iff. If an attorney volunteers, the attorney will contact Plaintiff directly. There is no guarantee, however, that a volunteer attorney will decide to take the case, and plaintiff should be prepared to proceed with the case without an attorney. (And as further set forth herein.) SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 11/19/2020) (jca) Transmission to Office of Pro Se Litigation for processing. |
