The Court discussed compliance with rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and issues the following orders:

Civil Procedure, rule 26(a)(1)(A-D). The parties are ordered to proceed with the initial 

disclosure process. Any objections to initial disclosure will be resolved as required by 

rule 26.

2. The rule 26(f) conference shall be completed on or before April 6, 2018.

3. No discovery plan is required.

4. The initial disclosures pursuant to rule 26(a)(1)(A-D) shall occur on or 

before April 20, 2018. Any motions addressing disputes related to initial disclosures 

shall be filed no later than thirty (30) days following the date the disclosures were due. 

The 30-day deadline will not be extended without a prior Court order; counsel cannot 

unilaterally extend the deadline. For example, ongoing meet-and-confer efforts or 

supplemental disclosures do not extend the deadline. A failure to comply may bar the 

party from filing a corresponding motion.

5. Counsel only shall participate in a telephonic settlement conference with Judge 

Ruben B. Brooks on August 21, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. Counsel for Plaintiff is to initiate the 

call.

Plaintiff’s counsel shall serve a copy of this order on all parties that enter this case 

after the date of this order.

Failure of any counsel or party to comply with this order may result in sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 14, 2018
