ORDER
_________
On April 21, 2015, the Court entered a scheduling order setting deadlines for this
case. (Doc. no. 35.) On May 13, 2015, the Court stayed the case pending a ruling by the
Fourth Circuit on appeal, and after representation from Plaintiff that the Fourth Circuit has
issued its decision, the Court lifted the stay on January 17, 2017. (Doc. nos. 45, 52.)
Defendants now unilaterally request a new scheduling order (doc. no. 51); however, the rules
contemplate joint planning of discovery. Therefore, the parties shall confer within seven
days of the date of this Order and submit a joint proposal for scheduling through dispositive
motions.
SO ORDERED this 17th day of January, 2017, at Augusta, Georgia.
