UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION

CONNIE MCGIRR, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Case No. 16-464
THOMAS F. REHME, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________________/
ORDER CONTINUING TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
On November 3, 2020, Defendant Waite, Schneider, Bayless & Chesley, Co.,
LPA filed a “Motion to Enforce Settlement and to Compel Escrow Agent to Perform his
Obligations.” Pursuant to the local rules, any opposition to the motion should have been
filed within 21 days. S.D. Ohio Civ. R. 7.2(a)(2). No response was filed. The court
therefore issued an order to show cause why the motion should not be granted (ECF
207.)
The escrow agent attempted to file a response, however, because he was not
admitted to practice in the Southern District of Ohio, he was not able to file the response
on the docket. Instead, he emailed his response, along with the voluminous supporting
documentation, to the court and to counsel of record. The court held a telephone
conference on December 30, 2020, where counsel indicated they needed time to review
the documents. All parties agreed it was best not to file the sensitive information on the
record, but to instead leave the motion pending while counsel could explore what issues
remain unresolved. The court will therefore continue the telephone conference until
February. Counsel shall continue to work cooperatively in an attempt to identify and

narrow any remaining issues. At the continued telephone conference, depending on
what issues remain, the court will determine the next step, if any, in this litigation.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the December 30, 2020 telephone conference is
CONTINUED until February 2, 2021 at 10:00 am. The court will circulate call-in
information at a later date. Counsel are instructed to submit a jointly prepared, brief
summary of remaining issues by January 29, 2021. The summary shall be submitted
via email to the court’s case manager, with all counsel and the escrow agent copied.
