ORDER: The Court held a conference to discuss the status of this case on Friday, February 18, 2022. Counsel for the Plaintiff appeared; pro se Defendant Byung Lim did not. Plaintiff's counsel represented that the parties have reached a settle ment in principle to resolve the action as to all defendants, but that Defendant Lim has not sent Plaintiff's counsel the agreement or the documents he sent to the Court.

To the extent Defendant Lim seeks legal advice regarding the settlement agreement, the NYLAG Pro Se Clinic is available to assist pro se liti gants. Information about the Clinic is available at: https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/attorney/legal-assistance. Additionally, by March 4, 2022, the parties are to submit a joint letter advising the Court as to the status of the case. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 2/18/2022) (ras)
