Letter/request (non-motion) from S. Baptista. (Nici, Richard)

Judge Douglas P. Woodlock : ORDER entered. [Summary of Text: On January 9, 2007, Plaintiff sent a letter to the Pro Se Staff Attorneys Office requesting a list of ten (10) of the major law firms and their addresses, so that she may write to them personally with a procedural outline of her claims, and forward to them documentary evidence for their consideration. The basis for this request is that she was informed that obtaining pro bono counsel takes time, and that in her view, counsel would be more inclined to accept an appointment knowing the facts and evidence of her cases. Plaintiff's request is DENIED. The Court will not approve of the dissemination of this its confidential list of its pro bono contacts or sources....While Plaintiff may, of course, make her own efforts to secure counsel to represent her, she may not represent to any law firms or attorneys that this Court endorsed the direct solicitation. Alternatively, if Plaintiff does not wish the Pro Bono Coordinators to continue their efforts because of the time delay, she may elect to withdraw her request for a successor appointment of pro bono counsel, and proceed pro se, by filing a Notice with the Court.](PSSA, 1)

Judge Douglas P. Woodlock : ORDER FOR APPOINTMENT OF PRO BONO COUNSEL AND ORDER ON PENDING MOTIONS entered: it is hereby Ordered that Erin Anderson, Esq. is appointed as successor pro bono counsel to Attorney Julie A. Baker to represent the Plaintiff Sandy J. Battista in C.A 05-12383-DPW and C.A. 05-11456-DPW. Contact Information for pro bono counsel is: Erin Anderson, Esq., P.O. Box 934, York Harbor, Maine 03911 (207)363-9113 (fax)(774) 888-9043 (cell) e-mail: erino27@yahoo.com. It is Further Ordered that Plaintiff's pro se Motion for Reconsideration of the Application for a Temporary Restraining Order (#48), Defendants' Motion for an Order Compelling Plaintiff to Submit to a Mental Examination (#50), Defendant University of Massachusetts's Motion for Entry of Separate and Final Judgment (#44), and Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File a Reply (#52) are all DENIED without prejudice. The parties may reassert such terminated motions no earlier than forty-five (45) days from the date of this Order in order to permit newly appointed counsel a reasonable period to assess the issues in these cases. The parties are reminded that any motion submitted to the Court must comply with Local Rule 7.1. (PSSA, 1) Modified on 3/22/2007 to correct typographical errors. (PSSA, 1).
