ORDER FOR PRELIMINARY PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE
This pro se case was referred to the undersigned U.S. Magistrate Judge under 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b). See General Order No. Day 12-03: Assignment and Reference to Magistrate Judges
(eff. May 15, 2012). Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge will schedule a preliminary pre-trial
conference pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16. During the preliminary pre-trial conference, the Court
will also discuss the pending motion to dismiss in this case. The Court sets the preliminary pretrial conference for Wednesday, February 6, 2013 @ 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 Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, all parties to this case are required to: (1) make Initial
Disclosures as required by Rule 26(a); and (2) confer with the other parties to plan discovery
under Rule 26(f). Because Plaintiff is a pro se litigant, Defendant’s 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, 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) Initial
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 or her mailing address and/or telephone number. A failure to do so
may be cause for the Court to dismiss this case for Plaintiff’s lack of prosecution.
The Courts’ 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 (937) 512-1400.
