ORDER
_________
Defendants filed motions to dismiss Plaintiff’s amended complaint on November 17,
2017, and December 15, 2017, (doc. nos. 30, 35), and requested a stay of discovery pending
the Court’s ruling on the motions (doc. no. 36). The Court granted a stay of discovery
pending the presiding District Judge’s ruling on the motions to dismiss. (Doc. no. 38.) The
Court instructed the parties to “file, within seven days of the ruling, a supplemental Rule
26(f) Report containing proposed, date-certain deadlines for the completion of all discovery
and filing civil motions.” (Id. at 2.) On May 10, 2018, the presiding District Judge granted
in part and denied in part Defendants’ motions to dismiss. (Doc. no. 39.)
More than seven days have passed since the presiding District Judge’s ruling, yet the
parties have not submitted a proposed schedule. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the
parties to conduct a conference within fourteen days of the date of this Order, and to file a

joint 26(f) Report within seven days of the date of the conference. The Court DIRECTS the
CLERK to attach the standard “RULE 26(f) REPORT” to this Order.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of May, 2018, at Augusta, Georgia.
