ORDER SETTING DEADLINES 

FOR PARTIES' INFORMAL CASE DISCUSSION AND REPORT, 

AND SETTING A PRE-HEARING STATUS CONFERENCE 

On June 15, 2015 a Procedural Order was filed by the previously assigned Judge, which 

set certain discovery and litigation deadlines. Included in this June 15, 2015 Order was-a request 

for email filings, as well as a directive to "be prepared to present this case at a hearing on or after 

November 6, 2015." (Order, 2 ~ 3.) The record shows that no hearing was scheduled after 

November 6, 2015. 

On August 26, 2015 a Notice of Assignment was filed, which reassigned the case to the 

undersigned. 

On October 1, 2015, an Order Modifying and Lifting Stay of the Proceedings Nunc Pro 

Tunc to July 21, 2015 was filed. 

On December 4, 2015 an Order Finding the Respondent's Motion for Decision is Moot, 

and Denying the Respondent's Motion for Partial Dismissal was filed. 

Brief Discussion 

The record does not indicate the status of the parties' discovery exchange or settlement 

discussions. Because no hearing date has been set, it would be helpful and cost-effective to 

assess the current status of the case. This would include (but is not limited to) whether there are 

pending discovery requests or motions, the parties' preferred calendar availability for hearing, 
whether the venue of Kansas City, Missouri should be confirmed or changed, and any other 

matters that should be addressed before & hearing is scheduled. 

The parties should first confer privately, prior to a Pre-Hearing Status Conference, to 

determine what discovery and motions might be needed (if any), as well as any other issue(s) 

which need to be addressed. Based on this informal discussion, a short, informal written report 

should be filed with the Court prior to the parties appearing for a Pre-Hearing Status Conference. 

The parties are hereby notified that any filing deadline dates, for filing documents with 

the Court, is the date that the documents are date-stamped received at the Office of Hearings. 

Parties are encouraged to fax or express deliver a Judge's working copy of their materials to the 

Office of Hearings on or before the filing deadline date to ensure compliance with this Order. 

The parties are also notified that there is no further email filing available in this case.
