2014 order because she had provided the court with an incorrect address of record. Accordingly,

(Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. A land line telephone number must be provided;

4. Plaintiff shall file and serve a status report on or before October 3, 2014, and

due to the relative simplicity or complexity of the action;

i. Whether the case is related to any other case, including matters in 

bankruptcy;

j. Whether the parties will stipulate to the magistrate judge assigned 

to this matter acting as settlement judge, waiving any 

disqualification by virtue of his so acting, or whether they prefer to 

have a Settlement Conference before another magistrate judge;

k. Whether the parties intend to consent to proceed before a United 

States Magistrate Judge; and

l. Any other matters that may aid in the just and expeditious 

disposition of this action.

5. Plaintiff is advised that failure keep the court apprised of her current and 

correct address, file a timely status report, or failure to appear at the status conference either in 

person or telephonically, may result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed for lack of 

prosecution and as a sanction for failure to comply with court orders and applicable rules. See

Local Rules 110 and 183;

6. Plaintiff is cautioned that Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

provides that a defendant must be dismissed if service of the summons and complaint is not 

accomplished on the defendant within 120 days after the complaint was filed. 

7. Plaintiff shall provide the court with her correct address within fourteen days of 

the date of this order.
