BRANDY NIHI,
Plaintiff,
v.

CV No. 17-819 JCH/CG

STATE OF NEW MEXICO, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant Town of Silver City’s
(“Defendant”) Motion for Status Conference, (Doc. 13), filed September 26, 2017. This
case is currently set for a Rule 16 Initial Scheduling Conference on October 3, 2017.
(Doc. 8). In its Motion, Defendant states that Plaintiff has filed a motion to amend her
complaint to remove her federal claims and to remand this case to state court, (Doc.
11), and that Defendant does not oppose the dismissal of Plaintiff’s federal claims.
(Doc. 13 at 2). Defendant further states “in light of the still pending Initial Scheduling
Order and concerns about the proper procedural mechanisms to effect such dismissal,
[Defendant] respectfully requests that the Court schedule a status conference for the
purpose of providing guidance to the parties.” Id. Having considered the Motion and
record of the case, and being otherwise fully advised, the Court finds that the Motion is
well taken and shall be granted.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Rule 16 Initial Scheduling Conference
and all associated deadlines are hereby VACATED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court will instead hold a status conference
by telephone on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. The parties shall call Judge

Garza’s Meet Me line at 505.348.2693 to be connected to the proceedings. This line
can only accommodate up to five telephone lines, including the Court’s; if the parties
anticipate that they will exceed this capacity, they must contact the Court immediately
so that alternative arrangements may be made.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

THE HONORABLE CARMEN E. GARZA
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
