MEMORANDUM
VIKTOR V. POHORELSKY, Magistrate Judge.
The plaintiff, pro se, has made an application seeking the court's assistance in obtaining counsel to represent him in this action. Dkt. Ent. 15. Upon review of the application and the one-page complaint filed by the plaintiff, the court is unable to determine whether the claims here meet the standards for granting the application. Moreover, the plaintiff has not made a sufficient effort to obtain an attorney on his own. Accordingly, a decision on the application will be deferred until after the next conference, when the court expects to obtain further information about the claims made by the plaintiff and the injuries he alleges he suffered at the hands of the defendants. In the meantime, the plaintiff must undertake further efforts to obtain counsel. He may do so by contacting the New York City Bar Legal Referral Service at (212) 626-7373 and advising the persons at that office of the nature of his claims in this action. They will be able to provide the names and contact information of attorneys with experience in these types of cases.
SO ORDERED.
