Case No. 2:12-cv-01284-JCM-CWH
ORDER

12
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Hearing (#34), filed March 13,
13
2014. It appears Plaintiff is requesting a status conference to ask the Court how to proceed with his
14
case. The Court does not dispense legal advice to litigants. Thus, the request for hearing will be
15
denied. See Local Rule 78-2 (“All motions, may, in the Court’s discretion, be considered and
16
decided with or without a hearing.”). It does not appear that a discovery plan has been entered in
17
this matter, so the Court will enter a discovery plan and scheduling order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
18
P. 16(b) and Local Rule 16-1(b).
19
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
20
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Hearing (#34) is denied.
21
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(b) and
22
Local Rule 16-1, the following Scheduling Order shall be filed and served upon the parties or their
23

24
shall include any and all parties appearing pro se:
