ORDER
_________
Plaintiff’s counsel unilaterally filed a Rule 26(f) Report on December 9, 2014 and
attached evidence of repeated, unsuccessful attempts to contact defense counsel to approve a
draft Rule 26(f) Report after their conference.

(See doc. no. 10.)

Only after this Court

intervened and scheduled a teleconference on this matter was defense counsel responsive. (See
doc. no. 11.) The parties have now filed a joint Rule 26(f) Report in compliance with the local
rules. (See doc. no. 13.) However, given the unnecessary steps leading up to the filing of the
report, defense counsel is hereby cautioned to take all deadlines in this case seriously and
respond as soon as possible to all correspondence from opposing counsel.
SO ORDERED this 12th day of December, 2014, at Augusta, Georgia.
