ORDER

The Order to Show Cause in this case came on for hearing

January 30, 2006, in the above-captioned court. Plaintiff

appeared in pro se. Defendants appeared through their attorneys

Dooley, Herr, et al., by Leonard Herr, Esq. 

Mr. Smith offered an explanation that he did not understand

that the notice of mandatory scheduling conference, that had been

provided him as part of the documents the Clerk of Court

furnishes every litigant who files a civil action, required that

a joint scheduling report had to be filed seven calendar days

prior to the scheduling conference. Mr. Smith did not understand

that he had to appear at the Mandatory Scheduling Conference. 

Mr. Smith represented to the Court that he intends to retain

an attorney in this matter.
