C/A No. 0:19-921-SAL-PJG

ORDER

Plaintiff filed this civil action in March 2019. This matter is before the court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2) (D.S.C.). On November 12, 2019, the court
issued a Second Amended Scheduling Order in this matter granting the parties’ motion for an
extension of the deadline for filing dispositive motions until May 19, 2020. (ECF No. 34.) On
March 16, 2020, the court issued Standing Order, Misc. No. 3:20-mc-105, that extended this
deadline by twenty-one days from the set deadline due to the current public health emergency
regarding COVID-19. As of the date of this order, no party has filed a potentially dispositive
motion regarding the merits of this case. The parties are directed to inform the court in writing of
the status of this case on or before June 18, 2020 and advise the court as to whether the case is
ready for trial. If any party intends to seek leave for an extension in which to file a dispositive
motion after the expiration of the court’s deadline as ordered, it must establish the requisite
showings in accordance with the applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Civil
Rules of this court.
