CHRISTOPHER JARMAN, Plaintiff, v. MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., et al., Defendants.
HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH
ORDER REGARDING THE SHOW CAUSE HEARING AND DISMISSING THE
COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE AND WITHOUT COSTS
Plaintiff's counsel Emmett D. Greenwood failed to initiate and appear for a telephonic status conference scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on March 21, 2013. The Court subsequently issued an order for Attorney Greenwood to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for his failure to appear (Dkt. 2).
For the reasons stated on the record at the show cause hearing held on April 3, 2013, the Court will not sanction Attorney Greenwood; however, Attorney Greenwood was duly warned that such conduct would not be tolerated in the future.
Furthermore, Plaintiff's counsel and Defendants' counsel agreed on the record at the hearing to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and without costs. Accordingly, the Court dismisses the complaint with prejudice and without costs.
SO ORDERED. Dated: April 4, 2013
Flint, Michigan
