UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PETER BORMUTH,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 12-11235

CITY OF JACKSON, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
On June 1, 2012, Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, filed two objections to
discovery requests served upon him by Defendants. Plaintiff is fundamentally correct
that, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(d), discovery cannot be sought in this
action until the parties confer as required by Rule 26(f). Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1). To
facilitate this event, the court will set a scheduling conference in this matter.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants are DIRECTED to
appear in the court’s chambers at 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Room 707, Detroit, Michigan,
for a scheduling conference on June 21, 2012, at 10 a.m. Attendees should be
prepared to discuss a summary of their claims and defenses as well as the scope of
discovery expected in this matter. Discovery in this case is SUSPENDED until the
scheduling conference.
