ORDER
_________
The above-captioned case was removed from the Superior Court of Richmond
County, Georgia, to this Court on April 27, 2017, and Defendants filed a motion to dismiss
the complaint on May 4, 2017. (Doc. nos. 1, 5.) Plaintiff filed a motion to remand and a
motion to strike the motion to dismiss on May 19, 2017. (Doc. nos. 6, 7.) The deadline for
the parties to confer as provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and then submit a
joint 26(f) Report as set forth in the Court’s prior Order has passed. (See doc. no. 3.)
However, no Rule 26(f) Report has been filed.

The pendency of the above-described

motions before the presiding District Judge does not excuse the parties’ obligation to confer
pursuant to Federal Rule 26.
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 30th day of June, 2017, at Augusta, Georgia.
