ORDER
_________
The above-captioned case was filed on July 21, 2017, and Defendant filed a motion to
dismiss on September 29, 2017. (Doc. nos. 1, 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. 2.) However, no Rule 26(f) Report
has been filed. The pendency of the motion to dismiss 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 1st day of December, 2017, at Augusta, Georgia.
