UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

IN RE: MIDLAND CREDIT 

MANAGEMENT INC.TELEPHONE 

CONSUMER PROTECTIONACT 

LITIGATION 

 Case No. 11-md-2286-MMA (MDD) 

Member Case No.: 15cv2477-MMA 

(MDD) 

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT 

MOTION TO LIFT STAY 

[Doc. No. 728] 

 Plaintiff Jeremy R. Johnson (“Johnson”) filed a “motion for an Order lifting the 

stay of motion practice to permit Johnson to file a motion to amend his Complaint” under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2).1

 Doc. No. 728. at 1. The Court notes that there 

is no stay on motion practice currently in effect. Rather, this multidistrict litigation 

(MDL) has established common discovery parameters and deadlines typical of a standard 

MDL to achieve “coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.” Doc. No. 1 at 2; see,

 Johnson failed to contact the undersigned’s Chambers to obtain a hearing date before filing his motion. 

Johnson should review this District’s Local Rules and the undersigned’s Chambers Rules for proper 

motion practice procedures. See S.D. Cal. Civ. R. 7.1(b); Civ. Chambers R. II.

e.g., Doc. Nos. 702, 725, 726. Accordingly, the Court DENIES AS MOOT Johnson’s 

motion to lift the stay on motion practice. If Johnson wishes to file a motion to amend 

his Complaint, he must contact the undersigned’s Chambers and obtain a hearing date 

prior to doing so. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
