ISAIAH S. NEAL, Plaintiff, v. SECRETARY BARBARA M. BARRETT, et al. Defendants.
ORDER
[DOCKET NO. 48]
Nancy J. Koppe, United States Magistrate Judge
Pending before the Court is Defendants' proposed discovery plan. Docket No. 48. Proposed discovery plans must be submitted as a stipulation. Local Rule 26-1(a). Written stipulations must be signed by all parties or their attorneys. Local Rule 7-1(a). “[I]n cases in which the parties disagree on the form or contents of the discovery plan, a statement of each party's position on each point in dispute” must be included with the proposed discovery plan. Local Rule 26-1(a). Defendants' proposed discovery plan fails to include a statement of the disputed issues between the parties. See Docket No. 48. Additionally, Defendants' proposed discovery plan has not been signed by Plaintiff, id. at 3, and is therefore not a properly formatted stipulation.
Accordingly, Defendants' proposed discovery plan is DENIED without prejudice. A properly formatted joint proposed discovery plan must be submitted no later than December 23, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
