ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
This matter was set for a final pretrial conference to occur this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. See
Scheduling Order [Doc. # 50, filed 6/1/2011] at p. 8. All parties are proceeding pro se.1
Only the plaintiff appeared at the final pretrial conference. None of the defendants
appeared. In this regard, it was apparent to me that a final pretrial order could be successfully

incorporated here. Consistent with matters discussed at the final pretrial conference,
IT IS ORDERED:
(1)

The proposed Final Pretrial Order is REFUSED;

(2)

(3)

Heidi Arndt’s Motion to Strike James Franks Response to Motion to Compel

[sic] [Doc. # 145, filed 1/4/2012], which I construe as a motion to strike Mr. Franks’ response to
the Order to Show Cause, is DENIED;
(4)

Bryan Flint’s Order to Show Cause [Doc. # 166, filed 1/30/2012], which is

indecipherable, is DENIED; and
(5)

Bryan Flint’s Regarding Stricken Affidavit On June 6th 2011 [Doc. # 167,

filed 1/30/2012], which I construe as a motion to file answer out of time, is DENIED as
premature.
Dated February 1, 2012.
