Opinion
Case No. 12-11235
06-11-2012
PETER BORMUTH, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF JACKSON, et al., Defendants.
ORDER SETTING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
On June 1, 2012, Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, filed two objections to discovery requests served upon him by Defendants. Plaintiff is fundamentally correct that, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(d), discovery cannot be sought in this action until the parties confer as required by Rule 26(f). Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1). To facilitate this event, the court will set a scheduling conference in this matter. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants are DIRECTED to appear in the court's chambers at 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Room 707, Detroit, Michigan, for a scheduling conference on June 21, 2012, at 10 a.m. Attendees should be prepared to discuss a summary of their claims and defenses as well as the scope of discovery expected in this matter. Discovery in this case is SUSPENDED until the scheduling conference.
