UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, INC., Plaintiff/Counterclaim Defendant, v. OAKSTONE PUBLISHING, LLC, Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff. / ORDER AMENDING MAY 22, 2009 SCHEDULING ORDER AND SETTING DEADLINES AND TRIAL DATE On April 7, 2010, the court conducted a status conference with counsel in the above-captioned matter. During the conference, the court suggested, and counsel agreed, that one final attempt at facilitation, if entered into in good faith, may result in an amicable resolution to this matter. The court will therefore set the remaining trial and pretrial dates with the understanding that the next two weeks will likely be devoted to settlement efforts. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the court's May 22, 2009 Scheduling Order [Dkt. # 13] is AMENDED as follows: the court will conduct a final pretrial conference with counsel only, by telephone,1 on May 17, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. The court will initiate the call. Case No. 09-11195

During the April 7, 2010 status conference, counsel agreed that in the event facilitation proved unsuccessful, an in-person status conference was not necessary. If counsel changes their mind, however, and find that perhaps an in-person conference, with or without party representatives, would aid in either resolving this case or streamlining the issues for trial, counsel is directed to notify the court's case manager, and she will convert the May 17, 2010 telephone conference into an in-person conference.
