ORDER STAYING CASE
JAMES DONATO, District Judge.
This case is stayed 30 days while plaintiffs look for counsel to represent them. Within 30 days, plaintiffs' counsel must file a notice of appearance or plaintiffs must file a statement that they intend to prosecute this case pro se. All case management dates are stayed for 30 days. Mr. Lacy, plaintiffs' prior counsel, is relieved of all duties and will be terminated as counsel in this matter.
Plaintiffs should be aware that there is free legal assistance available to litigants without lawyers in federal court. Assistance at the Legal Help Center is available to anyone who is representing him- or herself in a civil lawsuit in the San Francisco or Oakland divisions of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Legal Help Center is located in the federal courthouse in San Francisco: 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 15th Floor, Room 2796. Assistance is provided by appointment only, and appointments are held in person at the Legal Help Center. A litigant may schedule an appointment by signing up in the appointment book located on the table outside the door of the Center or by calling the Legal Help Center appointment line at 415-782-8982. If plaintiffs elect to proceed pro se, they are encouraged to seek assistance from the Legal Help Center in prosecuting this action.
A further case management conference is scheduled for October 8, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. The parties will file a joint case management conference statement by October 1, 2014 that proposes new case management dates in light of the delay that has resulted from plaintiffs' change in counsel.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
