21 Civ. 9024 (LGS)
ORDER

LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for January 12,
2022. (Dkt. No. 6.)
WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties’ joint letter or proposed case
management plan. (See Dkt. No. 9.) It is hereby
ORDERED that the January 12, 2022, initial pretrial conference is CANCELLED. If
the parties believe that a conference would nevertheless be useful, they should inform the Court
immediately so the conference can be reinstated. The case management plan and scheduling
order will issue in a separate order. The parties’ attention is particularly directed to the
provisions for periodic status letters, and the need for a pre-motion letter to avoid cancellation of
the final conference and setting of a trial date. It is further
ORDERED, that a referral to the Court’s mediation program (at no cost to the parties)
will issue separately. If the parties prefer to retain a private mediator at their own expense, they
should advise the Court no later than January 12, 2022. It is further
ORDERED that if Defendants seek to file a motion to dismiss, they shall file a premotion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2.
