Opinion
ORDER (1) PARTIALLY GRANTING JOINT MOTION, (2) VACATING EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION CONFERENCE, AND (3) SETTING TELEPHONIC CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
BARBARA L. MAJOR, Magistrate Judge.
On January 6, 2009, the parties filed a joint motion to continue the Early Neutral Evaluation Conference ("ENE") currently scheduled for January 26, 2009 at 1:30 p.m. Doc. No. 6. The parties' joint motion is PARTIALLY GRANTED in that, based on the representations of the parties, the Court finds it inappropriate to convene an ENE at this time. See Civil Local Rule 16.1(c) (explaining that the "judicial officer shall hold [conferences] as he or she deems appropriate"). Accordingly, the ENE set for January 26, 2009 is hereby VACATED.
The Court will conduct a telephonic, attorneys-only Case Management Conference on March 16, 2009 at 9:15 a.m. The Court will initiate the call. Failure of required counsel to participate may result in the imposition of sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
