Defendants.

A scheduling conference is set for June 13, 2017 in this action. Pursuant to the Court’s

19
scheduling order, a joint scheduling report was due one week prior to the scheduled hearing. On
20
June 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed a scheduling report and declaration stating that defense counsel

indicated he was not available to finish conferring on the joint report so Plaintiff filed a separate
scheduling report. On June 7, 2017, Defendants filed a report which states it is a joint scheduling
report. On this same date, Plaintiff filed an objection to that portion of Defendants’ scheduling
report that indicates it is a joint report.
Having reviewed the scheduling reports filed by the parties, the Court recognizes that the
report filed by Defendants is not a joint report. The Court is able to “cut through the rhetoric” in the
parties pleading to address the scheduling issues presented by the parties.

1

The Court is familiar with the history of counsel representing the parties in this action.

2

Therefore, the Court advises the parties that it will not exercise playground jurisdiction in this

3

action. Counsel is expected to comply with Federal Rules and orders of the Court. Further, the

4

Court expects counsel to treat each other with professional courtesy which includes timely meeting

5

and conferring to ensure that deadlines established by the Court are met. Each party has a right to a

6

fair trial on the merits, but not at the expense of unprofessional conduct. The Court anticipates that

7

with this advisement no further such issues shall arise during the course of litigating this matter. If

8

the parties do not heed the Court’s admonishment it will consider imposition of sanctions sua

9

sponte and/or require that counsel submit all future pleadings without the use of an adverb and/or

10

adjective.

12

IT IS SO ORDERED.
