ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel.1 By stipulation and order, this action was terminated on June 30, 2014. (ECF No. 37.) On October 10, 2014, plaintiff filed a request for court order. (ECF No. 38.) While not entirely clear, it appears that plaintiff may be contesting an issue allegedly resolved by the settlement in this action. If so, plaintiff must file a motion before the settlement judge to either enforce or modify the settlement. However, at the present time, plaintiff is represented by counsel. Thus, any motion must be made through counsel. If plaintiff's counsel believes that a material term of settlement has been breached, he may consult with defense counsel and, if necessary, file a motion before the settlement judge.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion (ECF No. 38) is denied without prejudice.
FootNotes

(ECF No. 31 at 2.) Counsel continued his representation through the settlement conference, and has not moved to withdraw.
