ORDER

Before the court is plaintiff's Request for Continuance (doc. #9), which seeks a

continuance of the October 28, 2005 Rule 16 scheduling conference due to an illness in

plaintiff's family. The motion will be granted and the case management conference

vacated. It also appears from Defendants' Case Management Report (doc. #8) that

plaintiff refused to participate in the joint preparation of the proposed case management

report. 

The court's July 29, 2005 Order Setting Rule 16 Case Management Conference

(doc. #7) directed the parties to meet at least 14 days before the case management

conference set for October 28, 2005, to prepare the proposed case management report. 

Plaintiff's apparent refusal to do so appears to be in violation of Rule 41(b), 

Fed. R. Civ. P., which states, “For failure of the plaintiff to prosecute or to comply with

these rules or any order of court, defendant may move for dismissal of an action or of any

claim against the defendant.”

comply with the order of this court.

DATED this 28th day of October, 2005.
