McGirr et al v. Rehme et al

Filing 56

SCHEDULING ORDER regarding hearing on pending motions. Signed by Robert H. Cleland on 7/21/16. (lgw)

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.
/
SCHEDULING ORDER
On May 26, 2016, the court held a hearing on various motions, including
Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, (Dkt. ## 13, 14), and Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary
Injunction, (Dkt. # 4). Plaintiffs made a summary presentation of their evidence, the
parties engaged in settlement discussions, and then Defendants made a short rebuttal
presentation. The court continued the hearing to allow the parties to explore the
possibility of settlement. Because the parties were not successful in negotiating an end
to the matter, the court scheduled a hearing for July 26, 2016 to continue presentation
on the pending motions. Plaintiffs have indicated to the court that they plan to rest on
the presentation that they made at the first hearing; Defendants anticipate making a
presentation in response. In order to clarify the matters the court understands to be ripe
for consideration,
IT IS ORDERED that the parties will first be prepared to argue the pending
Motions to Dismiss, (Dkt. ## 13, 14), with particular attention paid to the joinder concern
Defendants have raised under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19. The court will then

hear Defendants’ presentation concerning the Motion for Preliminary Injunction. (Dkt.
#4.) Finally, the court will allow Plaintiffs to reply to Defendants’ response to the Motion
for Expansion of the TRO. (Dkt. # 52.)
