This case is scheduled for a hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss1 and a Case
Management Conference for November 7, 2011. Upon review, the Court finds it appropriate to take
the Motions under submission without oral argument. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b).
On October 31, 2011, Defendants submitted a Case Management Statement. (See Docket
Item No. 199.) Plaintiff failed to join in the Statement. Based on the Defendants’ submission and
the Court’s evaluation of the case, the Court finds that a schedule for the case can be set without the
necessity of an appearance at this time. Accordingly, the Case Management Conference is
VACATED and the parties are ordered to comply with the following schedule:
