vs. 	)
)
Infinity Real Estate Group, LLC, 	) 	Case No. 1:25-cY-061
)
Defendant. 	)
On October 6, 2025, Plaintiff’s then retained counsel, Joel M. Fremstad filed a motion to
withdraw. (Doc. Nos. 16 through 19). On October 17, 2025, the court issued an order granting the
motion, authorizing attorney Fremstad to withdraw, and directing Plaintiff to file a report by
November 17, 2025, to advise what if any efforts he has undertaken to retain new counsel or whether
he intends to represent himself in this matter. (Doc. No. 20).
Plaintiff did not file a status report as directed and to date no attorney has entered an
appearance on Plaintiff’s behalf. Thus, it is appears that Plaintiff intends to represent himself in this
matter.
On November 19, 2025, Defendant filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and memorandum
in support. (Doc. Nos. 21 and 22). Plaintiff has yet to file a response. However, it is not entirely clear
from the record whether he was served with the motion.
Under the present circumstances, the court finds it prudent to schedule a conference with the
parties to discuss the status of the pending motion and Plaintiff’s present status as a pro se litigant.
Accordingly a status conference shall be scheduled for March 2, 2026, at :00 AM CDT by
telephone. To participate in the status conference, the parties shall call (571) 353-2301 and enter
