ORDER Regarding Joint Submission of Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
JEANNINE L. SOMBERG, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Case No. 13-11810
UTICA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS,
Defendants.
/
ORDER REGARDING JOINT SUBMISSION OF FINDINGS OF FACT AND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
In its pretrial Scheduling Order the court directed the parties to submit a joint
document containing proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law by July 7, 2016.
No such joint document has been filed.
On June 21, 2016 Plaintiffs filed a “Motion to Compel Good Faith Cooperation in
the Preparation and Submission of JFPTO.” (Dkt. # 43.) It is apparent from that motion
and the response and reply later filed, (Dkt. ## 44, 46), that Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’
counsel point the finger at each other, alleging that various failures and delays on the
part of the other have made filing the joint document impossible. The parties have left
the court to piece together and reconcile the parties’ conflicting proposed findings of fact
and conclusions of law. The court declines to do this work for them.
The court will allow counsel to use the time allotted for the Final Pretrial
Conference and the balance of that day, Thursday, July 14, 2016, to confer and draft
the required document. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that counsel shall arrive prepared to confer for as long as
necessary to produce a document that complies with the court’s Scheduling Order, (Dkt.
# 36). Counsel may bring laptops to allow the document to be created by word
processing.
