ORDER Directing Plaintiff to Comply with the Court's Scheduling Order (Jury) [Dkt #30]. Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

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

ROCHELLE DANIEL,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 12-12851

WEST ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.,
Defendant.
/
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO COMPLY
WITH THE COURT’S “SCHEDULING ORDER (JURY)”
On November 23, 2013, the court issued a “Scheduling Order (Jury),” (Dkt. # 30),
in this matter. Plaintiff was “ORDERED to convene a meeting (see Fed. R. Civ. P.51) at
which Plaintiff and Defendant’s counsel [were] ORDERED to confer prior to trial to
discuss the indispensable ‘core’ jury instructions.” (Pg ID 338.) Plaintiff was also
“ORDERED to submit the stipulated proposed jury instructions no later than November
7, 2013” modeled on the example the court provided. (Id (emphasis added).) Finally, in
the event that the parties were unable to fully agree, Plaintiff was “ORDERED to so
inform the court in writing by the deadline for the filing of the instructions.” (Id.) Plaintiff
did not comply with any of these orders; she did not convene a meeting with Defense
counsel, she submitted her own (not stipulated) jury instructions in a pattern that was
not modeled on the court’s sample, and if there was disagreement between the parties,
she did not so inform the court. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff comply with the court’s “Scheduling Order (Jury),”
[Dkt. # 30] by November 11, 2013 at 12 p.m.
