2015-09-25 | 31 | 0 | PAPERLESS ORDER. This cause is before the Court on Plaintiff Dennis Montgomery's 30 Scheduling Report. On July 6, 2015, the Court entered a 7 pretrial order requiring the parties to file a joint scheduling report within ten (10) days of their joint scheduling conference, which was to be held no later than twenty (20) days after the filing of the first responsive pleading by the last responding defendant, or within sixty (60) days after the filing of the complaint, whichever occurred first. The order cautioned that "[f]ailure of counsel to file a joint scheduling report within the deadlines set forth above may result in dismissal, default, and the imposition of other sanctions including attorneys fees and costs." In violation of the this Court's order, not only is Montgomery's Scheduling Report late, as the deadline to file a report has come and gone without a request for an extension of time by any party, but it is also filed unilaterally and not jointly with the defendants. Accordingly, it is ordered and adjudged that this action is dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is instructed to close this case. All pending motions, if any, are denied as moot. The parties may move to reopen this matter, as well as any previously filed motions that were mooted as a result of this order, upon the filing of a joint scheduling report. Signed by Chief Judge K. Michael Moore on 9/25/2015. (mg00) NOTICE: If there are sealed documents in this case, they may be unsealed after 1 year or as directed by Court Order, unless they have been designated to be permanently sealed.
