Judge Sharp/Brown Jury Demand
ORDER
A telephone conference was scheduled in this matter at 1:30 p.m., April 16, 2012. Once again, at the appointed hour, Mr. Dixon did not call in and a telephone call to his number reached only a voice mail.
Counsel for the Defendant advised that Mr. Dixon's deposition was set for a April 30, 2012, and that he had sent Mr. Dixon forms to secure a release of his medical records under HIPPA. Mr. Dixon should have those forms completed and available at the time his deposition is taken.
Within 14 days of the entry of this order, Mr. Dixon will provide the Court with an explanation of why he has again failed to participate in a scheduled telephone conference. Mr. Dixon is specifically cautioned that failure to attend a scheduled telephone conference will, in all likelihood, result in a recommendation by the Magistrate Judge that his case be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to follow Court orders.
The Clerk will send a copy of this order to Mr. Dixon by regular and certified mail.
It is so ORDERED.
