- ilnd;;1:15-cv-00061_de18 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Court previously found that Plaintiff's unreasonable behavior toward recruited pro bono counsel justified relieving counsel of the appointment and a refusal to recruit another lawyer for Plaintiff (this was in 12 C 04447, see R. 66 in that docket). This remains the Court's view, but Plaintiff has repeatedly expressed a desire to reasonably resolve the pending cases; whether that is true remains to be seen. As stated during a status hearing held on 06/11/2015 in 12 C 08696, the Court will recruit pro bono counsel one more time, but solely for the limited purpose to assist the Plaintiff in trying to settle the pending cases. If Plaintiff acts unreasonably in any way toward counsel, or settlement is not possible in the cases, then counsel will be given leave to withdraw. All litigation deadlines remain in place. Plaintiff must carefully consider the advice of counsel, and also must consider that if Plaintiff does not prevail in any particular case, he is subject to costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(1) (not attorney's fees, but rather other costs, which still can quickly add up), so it might even be worth resolving one or more of the cases simply on the basis of an agreement not to seek costs. The recruited counsel is Mr. Troy Davis Hoyt, Holland & Knight LLC, 131 South Dearborn Street, 30th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603, (312) 263-3600,email: troy.hoyt@hklaw.com. This recruitment applies to 12 C 8696, 15 C 61, 15 C 3128, 15 C 3130 and 15 C 4415. It bears repeating that this recruitment of counsel is for a limited purpose only and that counsel will be permitted to withdraw if Plaintiff acts unreasonably or settlement is not possible. Mr. Hoyt shall file a status report on the potential for settlement in each case (one report is fine, covering each case, but do upload onto each docket) on or before 07/20/2015. Emailed and mailed notice (slb, ) (Entered: 06/12/2015)" @default.
