Case No. 2:16-cv-01150-GMN-CWH
ORDER

In reviewing the docket in this case, it has come to the court’s attention that the plaintiff has

14

not filed a motion for a scheduling conference. Local Rule 22-1 provides that in interpleader

15

actions, “the plaintiff must file a motion requesting that the court set a scheduling conference . . .

16

within 30 days after the first defendant answers or otherwise appears.” A plaintiff’s failure “to

17

prosecute the interpleader action by failing to file the motion required by this rule” may result in

18

dismissal of the action. LR 22-1. Here, Defendant United States of America filed a petition for

19

removal (ECF No. 1) on May 23, 2016, and an answer (ECF No. 5) on September 20, 2016. To

20

date, the plaintiff has not filed a motion for a scheduling conference.

21

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that within 21 days from the date of this order, the parties

22

must meet and confer and plaintiff must file a motion for a scheduling conference that includes

23

proposed dates when all counsel are available.
