Case No. 12-13465

ORDER SETTING FILING DEADLINE
On March 22, 2012, counsel for the parties appeared for a scheduling conference. During the conference, Defendant's counsel indicated his intention to soon file a motion for judgment on the pleadings. On this assurance, the court agreed to delay entry of a scheduling order until after the determination of the motion. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that, if Defendant wishes to file a motion under Rule 12, it must do so no later than September 19, 2012. If any such motion is filed, it shall be briefed according to the schedule set forth in Local Rule 7.1(e). If the motion is denied in whole or in part, the court will then issue a separate scheduling order setting forth a four-month discovery deadline and other trial dates. If no motion is filed, the court shall enter the scheduling order after September 19, 2012.
The parties should proceed with initial disclosures under Rule 26(a)(1) regardless of whether a Rule 12 motion is filed.
