COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF: Jessica Woelfel and Laura Jacobsen (Present)

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS: Case Management Conference
1:33 p.m. Court convenes.
The court first addresses the parties’ “Stipulation to Allow Defendant and CrossComplainant Peter Dugan Leave to File His First Amended Counterclaim” (ECF No. 15). The
stipulation is GRANTED and the clerk’s office is directed to file “Peter Dugan’s First Amended
Counterclaim Against Simple Pump Co., LLC,” which is attached as Exhibit A to ECF No. 15.
The deadline to file a response to the counterclaim is due no later than Friday, 6/24/2016.
The court next addresses the parties’ “Joint 26(F) Report and Modification to Discovery
Schedule” (ECF No. 14). The court makes the observation at page 3 of the joint report that the
term “Cross-Complainant” is used and advises counsel the term counterclaimant is more
commonly used in federal court.
The court next reviews the parties’ special scheduling review (¶ 13, ECF No. 14).
Counsel are advised that, in view of anticipated dispostive motions being filed and the unknown
length of time it will take the court to resolve such motion practice, a trail date will not be
scheduled at this time. However, a scheduling order will be implemented. The court and
counsel confer regarding an appropriate amount of time to complete discovery. The consensus
