ORDER
On July 27, 2011, the Court entered an Order (Doc. # 44) which set the time of the
final pretrial conference for this case. This Order also provided that:
The parties are DIRECTED to JOINTLY prepare a proposed pretrial order in
accordance with the attached outline. Plaintiff is DIRECTED to e:mail the
proposed pretrial order to [e-mail] in Word or
WordPerfect format, to be received no later than three business days prior
to the pretrial hearing.
(Doc. # 44; emphasis in original). The pretrial hearing is set on Thursday, August 18, 2011
at 11:00 a.m. Accordingly, counsel for Plaintiff was required to email the proposed pretrial
order by no later than August 15, 2011. The proposed pretrial order was not been timely
provided to the Court as required. Instead, on August 16, 2011, counsel for Plaintiff sent a
pdf version of the document to the Court. Counsel for Plaintiff has a demonstrated problem
with complying with scheduling orders in this case. The Court reminds counsel for Plaintiff
that this Court has the authority to punish attorneys appearing before it for a pattern of failure
to comply with its Orders. Plaintiff shall submit the proposed pretrial order in the proper
format and by the proper means immediately.

Done this the 16 th day of August, 2011.
