Hall v. Vataj

Filing 13

ORDER granting #12 Letter Motion to Adjourn Conference. It is hereby ORDERED that the June 12, 2024, initial pretrial conference is CANCELED. 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, by June 7, 2024, the parties shall file the joint letter required by the Dkt. 6 order and confirm whether they consent to conducting all further proceedings before the assigned Magistrate Judge, as currently indicated in their proposed case management plan and scheduling order. It is further ORDERED that if Defendant seeks to file a motion to dismiss, he shall file a pre-motion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, if and when the parties are ready to proceed with a settlement conference with the assigned Magistrate Judge or mediation in the Court's mediation program, they shall file a joint letter on ECF requesting a referral. The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Dkt. 12. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 6/5/2024) (vfr)

ORDER

LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for June 12, 2024;
WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties’ proposed case management
plan. It is hereby
ORDERED that the June 12, 2024, initial pretrial conference is CANCELED. 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, by June 7, 2024, the parties shall file the joint letter required by the
Dkt. 6 order and confirm whether they consent to conducting all further proceedings before the
assigned Magistrate Judge, as currently indicated in their proposed case management plan and
scheduling order. It is further
ORDERED that if Defendant seeks to file a motion to dismiss, he shall file a pre-motion
letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further
ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, if and when the parties are ready to
proceed with a settlement conference with the assigned Magistrate Judge or mediation in the

Court’s mediation program, they shall file a joint letter on ECF requesting a referral.
The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and
expert discovery absent compelling circumstances.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motion at Dkt. 12.
