FOR THE PARTIES’ FAILURE TO FILE 

DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS 

On November 17, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant action for disability benefits 

under ERISA with this Court. (Compl., ECF No. 1.) On February 23, 2016, the Court 

issued a scheduling order requiring the parties to file dispositive briefing on September 

14, 2016, in lieu of proceeding to trial. (Order, ECF No. 14.) September 14, 2016 has 

passed and neither party has filed briefing or requested a modification to the scheduling 

order.

The parties' failure to take required action in the matter wastes judicial resources.

December 2, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
