Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
In an Order Setting Scheduling/Planning Conference entered on December 4,
2016, plaintiff was directed to forthwith serve the defendants. Now, six weeks later,
plaintiff seeks to vacate and reset the Scheduling Conference set next week, advising
the court that requests for waivers were sent to the Thornton Police Department, no
waivers were returned, and counsel is just now requesting summons to serve the
defendants personally. Counsel has needlessly delayed these proceedings by waiting
so long to serve defendants personally, but the court has no choice but to vacate next
week’s conference. It is thus hereby
ORDERED that the plaintiff’s Motion to Vacate the January 21, 2016 Scheduling
Conference (Docket No. 8) is GRANTED. The Scheduling Conference set on
January 21, 2016, at 2:30 p.m. is VACATED and RESET on March 8, 2016, at 9:00
a.m. The proposed Scheduling Order shall be filed on or before March 1, 2016. It is
further
ORDERED that plaintiff shall FORTHWITH serve the defendants.
