ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF

TO APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY

TELEPHONE AT PRETRIAL

CONFERENCE

On May 22, 2007, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why this case should

not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The Court has received Plaintiff’s response thereto,

and has also received Defendant’s submission in reply. The Court is not satisfied with

Plaintiff’s response, and additional concerns have been raised in light of the issues raised with

respect to Plaintiff’s deposition that had been scheduled for May 29, 2007.

Accordingly, Plaintiff and his counsel are HEREBY ADVISED that the Order to Show

Cause remains outstanding and they shall be prepared to address these issues at the Pretrial

Conference on June 4, 2007. At this stage, the Court is still considering all possible sanctions,

including terminating sanctions.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff Roy Morrison shall appear at the pretrial

conference either in person or by telephone. If Plaintiff intends to appear by phone, counsel

shall provide this Court’s Courtroom Deputy with a landline at which Plaintiff may be reached
