So here's what I can make of this:
On June 20, there was more discussion regarding dismissing Ray's attorney Craig Mueller, and a discussion of a state bar complaint Ray filed against him. It was continued to July 13.
On July 13, Mueller stated he was okay with being dismissed (no surprise), and the court granted it, and then appointed an attorney named Adam Gill to defend him. Ray said he didn't want Adam Gill, and wanted to defend himself. The court refused to allow this, stating that Ray already tried to defend himself and made a mess of everything. However, Ray was told he could hire someone else instead of Mr. Gill, whom I assume was appointed to him for free.
On July 20, it said Ray is on "medical" (??), and the dismissal proceedings would continue on August 3, which is weird because I thought the matter was already decided upon on July 13. However, I also see that the August hearing was "vacated - per law clerk".
The best I can make of this is that Ray is now being represented by Adam Gill, but not much else has changed.
