motion for involuntary dismissal be denied. Pursuant to Defendants’ request, the Court set a

status conference for April 28, 2010.

On April 26, 2010, Plaintiff James Pobursky filed a third ex parte motion for an order

commanding hearing attendance. He now contends that he is harassed and intimidated by the

staff’s monitoring of his phone usage and that he is being denied access to legal materials. He

also argues that he missed “visual actions” during the hearing on Defendants’ motion for

his opposition, the Court notes that it has recommended that Defendants’ motion be denied. Nor

is there any indication that Plaintiff was prohibited from effectively communicating his position

at the hearing. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to compel personal attendance is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
