1. Plaintiff has twenty-one days from the date of service of this order to file his scheduling and discovery statement;
2. Failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action; and
3. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a copy of the order requiring statements from parties regarding schedule and discovery (ECF No. 20).
