ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the parties’ “Certificate of Initial
Attorneys’ Conference” [Doc. 14].
Local Civil Rule 16.1 provides, in pertinent part, that upon completion
of the initial attorney’s conference, the parties shall file a Certification of
Initial Attorney’s Conference, which serves as a guideline for the Court in
issuing a Scheduling Order. LCvR 16.1(B). This Local Rule specifically
references a certification form, which may be downloaded through the
Court’s website at http://www.ncwd.uscourts.gov/forms/all-forms.

In the present case, the parties filed a Certificate of Initial Attorneys’
Conference but failed to utilize the form provided by the Court. The parties’
Certificate fails to contain all of the information required by the Court to
enter a case management order.
Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the parties’
Certificate of Initial Attorneys’ Conference [Doc. 14] is STRICKEN, and the
parties shall file a new Certification of Initial Attorney’s Conference, utilizing
the form provided by the Court, within twenty-one (21) days of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed: October 21, 2013
