On July 17, 2015, the court issued an order setting a case management conference

in the above-entitled related actions. The order stated that "[p]laintiff Lesley Duke must

appear in person or through substitute counsel[,]" and that if plaintiff failed to appear, he

would be "subject to imposition of sanctions, including dismissal for failure to prosecute."

On September 3, 2015, the clerk issued a notice continuing the case management

conference to November 19, 2015. 

On November 2, 2015, plaintiff filed letters in three of the above-entitled actions, in

which he states that "[p]ertaining to a joint case management conference to be held on

November 19, 2015," he intends to "ask for a phone conference" with one of the attorneys

representing the defendants in case Nos. 15-2564 and 15-2566, "for a possible settlement

offer . . . ." 

To the extent plaintiff is requesting leave to appear at the case management

conference telephonically, the request is DENIED. The July 17, 2015 directive remains in

effect, and the parties' joint case management conference statement is due on November 

12, 2015 as indicated in the September 3, 2015 clerk's notice.

To the extent that plaintiff is requesting some other form of relief, the request is

unclear and the court is unable to respond.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
