A case management conference was held on June 10, 2015. A further case management 

conference is set for September 16, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. The parties shall file their joint case 

management statement by September 9, 2015.

The parties shall file a Joint Settlement Status Report with this Court by August 24, 2015.

Defendant indicated that Plaintiff has not responded to Defendant’s discovery requests, 

which were served on April 3, 2015. The Court ordered that Defendant’s requests for admission

failure to prosecute. Plaintiff must respond to Defendant’s April 3, 2015 discovery requests by 

June 17, 2015. Specifically, Plaintiff must serve substantive responses (not merely objections) to 

Defendant’s interrogatories and produce documents in response to Defendant’s requests for 

production. Failure to do so by June 17, 2015, will result in an order dismissing this case with
