MEMORANDUM ORDER
Pending before the Court is a letter Motion To Appoint
Counsel And For Extension Of Time To Comply With Discovery
Request (D.I. 59) filed by Plaintiff and a Motion For Leave To
Depose Plaintiff filed by the State Defendants (D.I. 62). By
Order dated June 2l, 2006, the Court referred this case to the
Federal Civil Panel for the appointment of counsel. Although no
attorney from the panel has been able to conduct a merits review
of the case, several attorneys have rejected the case due to
party conflicts. As of September l9, 2006, the case was sent for
review to another attorney. Because representation is still
being actively pursued for Plaintiff, the Court will cancel the
discovery conference set for October 3l, 2006, and reschedule
that conference for a later date. The Court will also grant
Plaintiff an extension of time to comply with the discovery
requests served on him by the State. Dates for Plaintiff’s .
compliance will be set once the issue of his representation is
