Pursuant to Rule 16.1(d) of the Local Rules, a Case Management

21

Conference was held on December 19, 2017. The status of the case, at this

22

time, is that the cross-appeal of the decision of the Office of Administrative

23

Hearings (“OAH”) following a special education administrative “due process”

24

proceeding pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

25

(“IDEA”; 20 U.S.C. §1400 et seq.), is ready to proceed. Other causes of action

26

brought by Defendants as counter-claims are subject to a pending motion to

27

dismiss. The parties agreed that it is appropriate to proceed at this time with
1
17cv1386-W-MDD

1

the cross-appeals OAH order. The parties also recognized that discovery in

2

connection with this type of proceeding, although available, is limited. See,

1. The Administrative Record shall be filed on or before January 31,
2018.

2. All discovery shall be completed on or before April 30, 2018.

3. On or before May 31, 2018, the Plaintiff’s motion for summary

10

judgment shall be filed. Counsel for the moving party must obtain a motion

11

hearing date from the law clerk of the judge who will hear the motion

12

sufficiently in advance of the filing date. Failure to make a timely request for

13

a motion date may result in the motion not being heard. It is anticipated

14

that Defendants will file a cross-motion for summary judgment in connection

15

with their response to Plaintiff’s motion.
