Opinion
Case No. 2:12-cv-00340-JCM-NJK
04-05-2013
ALDEN HALPERN, Plaintiff(s), v. LIGHTYEAR NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC., Defendant(s).
ORDER SETTING HEARING
On July 3, 2012, the parties conducted their Rule 26(f) conference in this matter. See Docket No. 14. The parties subsequently filed a proposed discovery plan to the Magistrate Judge previously assigned to this case, see id., which was not signed by that Magistrate Judge. The parties have now filed an amended proposed discovery plan seeking a discovery period ending on October 11, 2013. See Docket No. 30. The amended proposed discovery plan indicates that no discovery has taken place other than the exchange of initial disclosures. Id. at 1. The Court hereby ORDERS counsel for the parties to appear for a scheduling hearing on April 11, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 3C.
Counsel shall be prepared to discuss at the hearing, the following: (1) the reason(s) no discovery (other than initial disclosures) has taken place in the nine months since the Rule 26(f) conference was held, cf. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1) (formal discovery prohibited until the parties hold the Rule 26(f) conference); and (2) the efforts, if any, the parties made to contact the Court regarding the continued pendency of the parties' first proposed discovery plan.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
