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

NATALIE QANDAH,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-11126

JOHOR CORPORATION & YB DATO
DAMARUZZAMAN BIN ABU KASSIM,
Defendants.
_______________________________________/
ORDER CONVERTING NOVEMBER 2, 2017 IN-PERSON STATUS CONFERENCE
TO TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
The court held a status conference on August 23, 2017 wherein the parties
agreed to a plan for staged and targeted discovery into the jurisdictional issues
identified in the court’s previous order. (See Dkt. #19.) Thereafter the court ordered said
discovery without prejudice to Defendant’s continuing objection to personal jurisdiction.
(Dkt. # 21.) Pursuant to the discovery order, Plaintiff served targeted written discovery
on Defendants on or about September 23, 2017 and Defendants responded in a timely
manner on October 23, 2017. The parties are currently scheduled for an in-person
status conference with the court on November 2, 2017 to assess the need for any
further discovery or reciprocal discovery in the resolution of Defendant’s pending motion
to dismiss. (Dkt. # 11.) Plaintiff has requested that the in-person status conference be
converted to a telephone conference as she has encountered exigent circumstances
that will require her to travel out-of-state.

Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the November 2, 2017 in-person status conference is
CONVERTED to a telephone conference.
