Plaintiff, an inmate proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The

investigating Plaintiff’s allegations that he was in a mental health facility receiving treatment,

including dates, and filing a renewed motion to reopen the case, if the allegation is substantiated. 

Carter C. White and the King Hall Civil Rights Clinic have been selected from the Court’s pro

appointed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

allegation is substantiated. The renewed motion to reopen the case, if the allegation is 

substantiated, is due 90 days from the date of this Order and should include documents 

verifying Plaintiff’s mental incapacity and/or mental health treatment during the relevant 

period. If counsel is unable to substantiate Plaintiff’s mental health allegations, counsel 

should file, not later than 90 days from the date of this Order, a notice indicating that a 

renewed motion to open the case would not be appropriate.

Plaintiff’s renewed motion to reopen the case is filed, or when notice that a renewed

motion to reopen the case would not be appropriate is filed.

3. Appointed counsel shall notify Sujean Park via email at spark@caed.uscourts.gov if they

have any questions related to the appointment.

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this Order upon Carter C. White,
