Judge” within thirty days, if they choose to have Judge Grosjean preside over both the 

Settlement Conference and the trial. (ECF No. 206.) The Court sent Waiver forms to the 

parties for completion and return to the Court. (Id.) On December 8, 2015, Plaintiff filed his 

Waiver. (ECF No. 209.) Defendants did not file a Waiver before the thirty-day deadline 

expired.

On January 19, 2016, the Court issued an order for Defendants to file a Waiver by 

January 22, 2016, or the Settlement Conference would be vacated from the Court’s calendar 

without further notice. (ECF No. 215.) The January 22, 2016 deadline has now expired, and 

Defendants have not filed a Waiver.

Therefore, the Settlement Conference for this case is now rescheduled from February 

17, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean to February 18, 2016 at 

10:00 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston. The deadline of February 10, 

2016 for the parties to submit confidential settlement conference statements to the Court 

remains the same.1 The deadline of March 2, 2016 for the filing of motions for summary 

judgment remains the same. All other provisions of the November 25, 2015 order remain the 

same. The parties are advised to review the November 25, 2015 order for the information and 

deadlines that have not changed. The Court shall issue a new Writ of habeas corpus ad 

testificandum to transport Plaintiff to the Court for the February 18, 2016 Settlement 

Conference.
