03/10/2008	7	ORDER: I have considered plaintiffs' request and have determined that the Attorney General does not face an improper conflict of interest in representing the State Defendants. If, however, the Attorney General concludes that an investigation of defendants is warranted, then independent counsel would be required. Plaintiffs request that the Court find that defendant Raymond A. Joao's counsel, alleged to be John W. Fried is conflicted because Fried will be required to testify and may be added as a defendant. Plaintiffs' request is denied at this time. Plaintiff also request that the Court reconsider its earlier denial of plaintiffs' request for pro bono counsel. Plaintiffs have presented no such decisions or factual matters. The Request is denied. Defendants time to return waivers of personal service is hereby extended until March 21, 2008. Defendants shall move or answer no later than May 30, 2008. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 3/7/2008) (jpo) (Entered: 03/10/2008)
