April 26, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 25 ORDER: it is ORDERED that the motion to amend (Doc. #13 ) is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file electronically an exact duplicate of the amended complaint attached to the motion, in accordance with the Middle District of Alabama's Administrative Procedures. Further, for good cause shown, and to preclude any potential prejudice to the parties as a result of allowing the amendment, it is ORDERED that Defendant Event Operations Group's unopposed motion to amend the scheduling order (Doc. #22 ) is GRANTED and that all discovery is STAYED until the parties file an amended report of parties' planning meeting in accordance with this Order. It is ORDERED that, as soon as practicable after service of the amended complaint, the parties shall meet and confer pursuant Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to consider the possibilities for promptly settling or resolving the case, and to develop a revised proposed discovery plan. It is further ORDERED that the parties' amended Rule 26(f) report containing the revised discovery plan shall be filed as soon as practicable but not later than twenty-one (21) days after the earliest date Defendant Mike Jones files an answer or motion to dismiss or otherwise appears in this action. The current practice in this district is that dispositive motions shall be filed no later than 180 days prior to the pretrial date. If the parties seek to vary from that schedule, they should present, in the plan, specific case-related reasons for the requested variance. In their Rule 26(f) report, however, the parties should assume that the 180-day requirement will apply. This case will be set for trial before the undersigned judge during one of that judge's regularly scheduled civil trial terms. The pretrial date is normally set within four to eight weeks of a scheduled trial term. The dates of each judge's civil trial terms are available on the court's website located at http://www.almd.uscourts.gov The court may or may not hold a scheduling conference before issuing an amended scheduling order. If the court holds a scheduling conference, counsel may participate in the scheduling conference by conference call. The amended scheduling order entered by the court will follow the form of the Uniform Scheduling Order adopted by the judges of this court. The Uniform Scheduling Order is also available on the courts website. Signed by Chief Judge William Keith Watkins on 4/26/2016. (kh, ).
