On August 29, 2014, the Court received two telephone calls from counsel for Defendants

14

asking the Court about the previously-scheduled deadline for the receipt of settlement conference

15

statements. Counsel and their staff are prohibited from making ex parte communications with the

16

Court. See, e.g., Local Rule 7-6(a). As such, all counsel, along with their staff, shall refrain from

17

calling chambers. Counsel, and by extension their staff, are also required to conduct themselves in

18

a civil and professional manner when dealing with judicial officers.1 See, eg., Nev. Sup. Ct. R. 73.

19

The Court further reminds the parties and counsel that they must abide by all local rules and court

20

orders, and that failure to do so may result in severe sanctions. See, e.g., Local Rule IA 4-1.
