In this case, the undersigned previously ordered Plaintiff to produce certain documents and respond to certain interrogatories by October 4, 2019. (See ECF No. 121.)

On November 19, 2019, District Judge Mueller granted Mr. Hamilton's request, and ordered him to return Plaintiff's papers, property, and unearned fees. (ECF No. 134.) In light of Plaintiff now proceeding pro se, Judge Mueller referred this case back to the undersigned. See Local Rule 302(c)(21).

1. Once Mr. Hamilton has complied with District Judge Mueller's order, he shall file a statement of compliance with the Court;

b. The status of Plaintiff's document review and likely production, as ordered by the Court on September 13, 2019 (ECF No. 121.);
c. Defendant's receipt of the $1,225 in sanctions (See Id.);
d. A proposed schedule for the resumption of discovery;
e. Any other matters the parties wish to discuss with the Court;
3. The parties shall file a joint, two-page statement by Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 2:00 p.m., addressing these issues; and
4. The Clerk of the Court shall also serve a copy of this order on Plaintiff's former counsel, Mr. Ben Thomas Hamilton.
