ORDER FOR PRELIMINARY PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties have consented to entry of final judgment by a
United States Magistrate Judge.

See doc. 19.

Accordingly, under Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 16, the Court sets the preliminary pre-trial conference for Wednesday, October 17,
2012 at 9:30 a.m. The parties are directed to call 1-877-336-1839, access code 2725365, security
code 123456 and wait for the Court to join the conference.
If the above-listed date or time conflicts with a previously set matter in another court,
counsel with the conflict may obtain a continuance by filing a motion that includes alternative
dates on which all parties will be available.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26, all parties to this case are required to: (1)
participate in pre-trial disclosure of evidence under Rule 26(a)(1); and (2) confer with the other
parties to plan discovery under Rule 26(f). Because Plaintiff is a pro se litigant, Defendants’
counsel is directed to initiate the telephone call to Plaintiff to plan discovery under Rule 26(f).

All parties and counsel shall consult to set a date for the discovery conference, which must
be held at least twenty-one days before the pre-trial conference with the Court. Not later than
fourteen days after the discovery conference (and in no event later than Wednesday, October 10,
2012), the parties must submit the “Rule 26(f) Report of the Parties” to the Court in the form
shown on the Court’s website. Unless otherwise agreed in the Rule 26(f) Report, the parties must
make the disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1) not later than fourteen days after the
discovery conference. Rule 26(a)(1) Disclosures are NOT to be filed with the Court. It is
only necessary to file a Rule 26(f) Report of the Parties within the required time.
Plaintiff, as a pro se litigant without access to the Court’s electronic filing system, is
reminded that all documents filed with the Court must be contemporaneously mailed to the
counsel of the other parties, and must include a Certificate of Service indicating the date on which
the document was mailed. Plaintiff is also instructed to inform the Court and all other parties of
any changes to his mailing address, telephone number and/or email address.
The Court’s website (www.ohsd.uscourts.gov) contains copies of the Court’s Local Rules,
applicable General Orders, and forms. The form for the Rule 26(f) Report of the Parties is
available under the “Forms” tab. If you do not have the ability to access the website, please contact
the Clerk’s office at [phone].
