ORDER CONDITIONALLY APPOINTING COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, District Judge.
In this action, Plaintiff Stacey Simeon Hall alleges, among other things, that two City of Monroe police officers — Defendants Ryan Parise and Shawn Cousino — used excessive force when arresting him. (See Compl., ECF No. 1.) On February 6, 2020, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants' motion for summary judgment and allowed Hall's excessive force claim against Officers Parise and Cousino to proceed. (See Order, ECF No. 53.) The Court noted it would conditionally appoint counsel for Hall and, once counsel is appointed, schedule a settlement conference. (See id. at PageID.916.)
Accordingly, the Court hereby (1) refers this action to the Court's Pro Bono Committee and conditionally appoints counsel for Hall providing that the Committee is successful in enlisting pro bono counsel on Hall's behalf, and (2) stays this action pending the appointment of counsel. If the Pro Bono Committee is unsuccessful in enlisting counsel, counsel will not be appointed and Hall will continue to proceed pro se or retain counsel at his own expense. Upon the appointment of pro bono counsel, the Court will schedule a telephonic status conference with all counsel to discuss how this action should proceed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
