UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01540-DAD-HBK (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF’S 

FORMER COUNSEL TO PROVIDE CASE 

FILE TO PLAINTIFF

On April 24, 2024, the Court granted former pro bono counsel Carter C. White’s Motion 

to Withdraw as attorney for Plaintiff Shannon Williams. (Doc. No. 164). Plaintiff therefore 

proceeds pro se on his Federal Tort Claims Act action against the United States. At a status 

conference held on August 22, 2024, Plaintiff advised the Court that he had not received a copy 

of the case file or any other materials from his former pro bono counsel since withdrawing from 

the case. (See Doc. No. 176). The Court therefore issues this order directing Plaintiff’s former 

pro bono counsel to provide any materials or files still in his possession relating to this matter, 

including all discovery or medical records, to Plaintiff at his address of record:
