ORDER

Currently pending before this Court, on a referral from the Honorable Jack B. Weinstein, is a letter dated March 11, 2019, by plaintiff Maketa Jolly ("Ms. Jolly"), proceeding pro se, asking Judge Weinstein to assist her in connection with the impending suspension of her nursing license by the Board of Nursing of the State of New Jersey. See Letter Motion for Injunction (received Mar. 14, 2019) ("Jolly Motion"), Electronic Case Filing Docket Entry ("DE") #203; see also Order Referring Motion (Mar. 18, 2019). Ms. Jolly states that she lacks the funds "to retain an attorney to fix this mess," but also notes that she had "notified John Hermina [of] Hermina Law Group," the firm that represented Ms. Jolly and dozens of others in this and a series of similar lawsuits filed against Excelsior College. See Jolly Motion at 3. In fact, on the same day that Ms. Jolly wrote her letter to Judge Weinstein, Hermina Law Group withdrew plaintiffs' previously filed motion to set aside the stipulation of settlement with Excelsior. See Motion to Withdraw (Mar. 11, 2019), DE #201; see also Motion to Set Aside Settlement (Nov. 13, 2018), DE #178. It thus appears that Mr. Hermina did not view Ms. Jolly's recent complaint as stating a violation of the Settlement Agreement in this case.

The Court requests that Mr. Hermina promptly communicate with Ms. Jolly to ascertain whether her request for relief is properly before this Court and whether the problem complained of can be readily resolved through plaintiffs' counsel's intervention. Plaintiffs' counsel shall file a status report by April 3, 2019. If the matter has not been resolved, defendant is directed to respond to Ms. Jolly's motion and to plaintiffs' counsel's submission by April 9, 2019.

SO ORDERED.
