(“WJFB”) appeared before Magistrate Judge Patricia V. Trumbull for a Case Management

factual and legal issues as set forth in the Case Management Conference Statement.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline for joinder of any additional parties, or

other amendments to the pleadings, is sixty days after entry of this order. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline for Plaintiff to inform the court if he

intends to serve the summons and complaint on Defendant Andre Khayyam is sixty days after

entry of this order. In the parties’ Joint Case Management Conference Statement, Plaintiff states

that he is “disinclined” to serve Defendant Andre Khayyam, who is the only Defendant who has

not yet been served with the summons and complaint. In the event Plaintiff decides he does wish

to proceed against Defendant Khayyam in this action, he must so notify the court within sixty

days after entry of this order. Absent such notice, the court will dismiss this action without

prejudice as to Defendant Khayyam.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the presumptive limits on discovery set forth in the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure apply to this case. In the Joint Case Management Conference

Statement the parties also requested that the court set a deadline for the parties to exchange initial

disclosures. The Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference originally set October 25,

2005 as the last day for the parties to complete their initial disclosures. Neither party sought

relief from that deadline and no such relief was ever ordered. However, it appears some

confusion was caused by the withdrawal of Defendant WJFB’s counsel shortly before the initial

disclosures were due, and the continuance of the Case Management Conference. Therefore, the

court hereby extends to September 26, 2006 the deadline for the parties to complete their initial

disclosures.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall participate in a settlement conference

before a Magistrate Judge of this court no later than December 1, 2006. The parties jointly

requested that either Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James or Chief Magistrate Judge James

Larson conduct the settlement conference. The parties may inquire of Judge James and Judge

Larson if either of them would be willing to conduct the settlement conference. If the parties

have not obtained, by September 29, 2006, a date on either of those judges’ calendars for the

settlement conference, then the parties shall promptly contact Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd to
