ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the court on periodic compliance review. Review of the file reveals that despite joinder of the issues on September 8, 2008, and a Notice issued by the Clerk of court on September 10, 2008, no Certificate of Initial Attorneys Conference ("CIAC") has yet been filed, making such pleading past due. Inasmuch as the defendant and counter claimant is proceeding pro se, counsel for plaintiff may either meet by phone with such defendant or each party can file their own CIAC.

ORDER IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the parties file the required Certificate of Initial Attorneys Conference by the close of business on October 22, 2008, or appear for a show cause hearing on October 23, 2008, at 2:00 p.m.
