of counsel was warranted, and the case was temporarily stayed in order to locate counsel and 

investigate the necessity of a guardian ad litem to represent plaintiff. ECF No. 42. A potential 

guardian ad litem was identified, and counsel was appointed for the limited purpose of 

representing plaintiff in any proceedings related to the appointment of a guardian ad litem and 

assisting plaintiff, or his guardian ad litem, with preparing for and participating in a settlement 

conference. ECF No. 43. The temporary stay was then extended to allow for the completion of a 

status conference related to the appointment of a guardian ad litem. Id. at 2. Counsel for plaintiff 

was directed to contact the potential guardian ad litem to determine whether the potential 

guardian ad litem was both willing and able to take on that role and to provide possible dates for 

the status conference. Id. Plaintiff’s counsel has now provided the requested information, and a
