Defendant Peter Salles, proceeding pro se, is seeking legal representation in connection with a lawsuit filed against him, American Airlines, and several American Airlines employees. Plaintiffs, Anthony Williams and Katsiaryna Shasholka, filed this action alleging racial discrimination against the airline and other claims stemming from events that occurred during and immediately following an American Airlines flight. Salles, a fellow passenger on the flight, faces claims of false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Salles denies the allegations and asserts he acted in good faith to alert the airline to his concern for the welfare of a fellow passenger.
