It is further ORDERED that this action is held in abeyance for thirty days. 

Plaintiff has until March 28, 2013, to find counsel to represent her minor son,

L.G., and to have counsel make an appearance in this action. To that end,

Defendants’ motion for a more definite statement (Doc. # 15) is GRANTED as to

L.G.’s claims. The court will revisit the deadline for filing an amended complaint

after March 28, 2013. Plaintiff is cautioned, however, that her failure to retain an

attorney by the March 28 deadline will result in dismissal of the remaining claims

for lack of standing.
