Case No. 2:13-cv-02116-GMN-NJK
ORDER

16
17

This case has been transferred from the Eastern District of Texas. Docket No. 17. The Court

18

has set a discovery status conference for November 22, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 3B. The

19

Court’s staff has now received a telephone call from Defendants’ attorney Laura Warrick, raising

20

several questions. The Court first advises counsel that they are prohibited from calling chambers to

21

make ex parte communications. Local Rule 7-6(a). Moving forward, the Court expects strict

22

compliance with all of the Local Rules, and counsel and the parties are advised that the failure to do

23

so may result in sanctions. See, e.g., Local Rule IA 4-1.

24

Ms. Warrick’s primary concerns relate to the fact that a motion to withdraw may be filed and

25

counsel has not yet filed an application to appear pro hac vice. With respect to the deadline to file a

26

notice of related cases, the Court hereby EXTENDS that deadline to November 25, 2013. With

27

respect to Ms. Warrick’s concern regarding appearing at the status conference, the Court hereby

28

ORDERS that counsel of record appear. Counsel may address their concerns during that

1

conference. Counsel may also appear telephonically. Any counsel wishing to appear telephonically

2

shall call the Court conference line at 702-868-4906 at least five minutes prior to the hearing. The

3

conference code is 123456. In order to ensure a clear recording of the hearing, the call must be

4

made using a land line phone. Cell phone calls, as well as the use of a speaker phone, are

5

prohibited.

6

IT IS SO ORDERED.
