1:12-cv-00484 AWI GSA 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO

SHOW CAUSE

Following removal from state court in March 2012, this matter was set for an Initial

Scheduling Conference. (See Doc. 5.) Before the scheduling conference occurred however, the

only named Defendant was dismissed from the action. (Doc. 19.)

On July 13, 2012, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause (“OSC”) for Plaintiff’s

failure to follow a court order when Plaintiff failed to file a scheduling report no later than July

11, 2012. (Doc. 20.) 

On July 18, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion to amend the complaint. That matter is set to

be heard August 10, 2012. (Doc. 21.)

On July 30, 2012, Plaintiff filed a request to continue the OSC hearing, or alternatively,

for permission to appear at the OSC hearing by telephone. (Doc. 23.)

In the request, Plaintiff’s counsel explains that because Defendant Kenworth had been

dismissed from this matter, his paralegal “assumed the scheduling conference was off calendar.”

Therefore, counsel’s failure to file the scheduling report was the result of a mistake.

Based on the foregoing, good cause for Plaintiff’s failure to file a joint scheduling report

as previously ordered has been shown. Accordingly, the Order to Show Cause is hereby

DISCHARGED. The hearing set for August 3, 2012, is VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
