The parties shall file a Joint Settlement Status Report with this Court by August 24, 2015.
Defendant indicated that Plaintiff has not responded to Defendant’s discovery requests,
which were served on April 3, 2015. The Court ordered that Defendant’s requests for admission
were therefore deemed admitted, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 36(a)(3). Moreover,
the Court issued an Order to Show Cause why this case should not be dismissed with prejudice for
failure to prosecute. Plaintiff must respond to Defendant’s April 3, 2015 discovery requests by
June 17, 2015. Specifically, Plaintiff must serve substantive responses (not merely objections) to
Defendant’s interrogatories and produce documents in response to Defendant’s requests for
production. Failure to do so by June 17, 2015, will result in an order dismissing this case with
