ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF'S EMERGENCY REPORT (DE 34)

ANTHONY P. PATTI, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Lance Adam Goldman is currently incarcerated at the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) Baraga Correctional Facility (AMF) in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. (DE 33.) On December 19, 2017, while incarcerated at the MDOC's G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility (JCF), Plaintiff filed the instant lawsuit against 17 defendants. (DE 1 at 2-5.) The Court's March 26, 2018 opinion and order dismissed eight of the defendants and directed service of the complaint upon nine of the defendants. (DE 9.)

Plaintiff has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and, until very recently, he was representing himself. (DEs 2, 4; see also DE 6.) On September 17, 2018, attorney Daniel Manville entered a limited appearance to engage in discovery on Plaintiff's behalf. (DE 42.) Each of the remaining Defendants is alleged to be or have been employed at Parnall Correctional Facility (SMT) and is represented by the Michigan Department of Attorney General. (DE 1 at 2-5, DE 12.)

Judge Drain has referred this case to me to for all pretrial proceedings. (DEs 8, 39.) Among the matters which are currently pending before the Court is Plaintiff's verified, emergency report dated August 1, 2018 and filed on August 9, 2018. (DE 34.) Within this filing, Plaintiff, inter alia, makes some detailed allegations about sexual assault, torture and rape by MDOC transportation employees. According to Plaintiff, there is an "imminent threat" on his life at Baraga (DE 34 at 12 ¶ 18), which, as noted above, is Plaintiff's current location.

Given Plaintiff's counsel's recent, limited appearance "to engage in discovery[,]" (DE 42), the prudent approach is have Plaintiff address his emergency concerns (DE 34) with his counsel, so that his attorney may investigate further, conduct any necessary discovery and file an appropriate motion if Court action is necessary.
