c. Counsel should also discuss their client's positions regarding:

to a Magistrate Judge, and any scheduling or other issues, including any requested modifications to

the initial scheduling order set forth in section 1 above, and possible submission of trial exhibits

electronically (See LR 5−6(b)).

5. Service of this Order: Counsel for the Plaintiff (the "filing party") must serve this order and all

attachments upon all other parties to the action. (In cases removed to this Court, the removing

defendant is considered the "filing party.") (See LR 3−5.) A pro se filing party is required to serve this
