IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
Jeremy J. Williams,
Plaintiff,
v.
N. Otter, et al.,
Defendants.
No. CV-24-00924-PHX-JAT
ORDER
Pending before the Court are pro se Plaintiff Jeremy J. Williams several Motions to
Appoint Counsel (Docs. 109, 110, and 154). The Court’s pro bono coordinator has been
attempting to locate counsel for Plaintiff since December 2025 (after summary judgment
was denied). The coordinator has now located someone who would be willing to represent
Plaintiff at trial, but only if the case is continued to late May or early June 2026. The parties
have until Monday, March 23, 2026 to file their objections, if any, to a trial continuance
(and/or the appointment of counsel who may request leave to re-prepare the pretrial
documents). In addition, the parties should notify the Court whether they will consent or
object as soon as possible to allow the Court to rule more quickly on continuing the final
pretrial conference and trial. If possible, defense counsel should attempt to call or otherwise
contact Plaintiff to find out if he consents or objects and notify the Court as soon as
possible.
IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall file any objections to a trial continuance by
Monday, March 23, 2026.
