December 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER REFERRING CASE to Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(A) and (B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a) and (b), this case is referred to the assigned United States Magistrate Judge to (1) convene a scheduling conference under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b) and enter a scheduling order meeting the requirements of Local Civ. R. 16.2, (2) conduct such status conferences and issue such orders necessary for compliance with the scheduling order, including amendments or modifications of the scheduling order upon a showing of good cause, (3) hear and determine pretrial matters, including discovery and other non-dispositive motions, (4) conduct hearings, including evidentiary hearings, and submit proposed findings of fact and recommendations for rulings on dispositive motions, and (5) pursuant to Local Civ. R. 16.6 and at the discretion of the Magistrate Judge, convene such early neutral evaluation and/or settlement conferences and direct related procedures as may facilitate resolution of this case without the necessity of a motion or prior authorization of the undersigned. SO ORDERED by Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 12/30/2020. Text Only Entry (dddlc3, )
December 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: Defendant removed this action from state court while Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction was pending before that court. (ECF No. #1 , [1-9].) Plaintiff's state court brief in support of that motion has been separately docketed here. (See ECF No. #6 .) Defendant appears to have filed no responsive brief in the state court action. For the sake of clarity, if Plaintiff still seeks injunctive relief in this forum, it shall separately file a motion for a preliminary injunction in a format consistent with the district's local civil rules and this court's practice standards on or before January 7, 2021. If Plaintiff re-files its motion, the court will promptly set an expedited briefing schedule on that motion. While Plaintiff may seek a hearing on its motion, the court will not set a hearing at this time. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a) does not explicitly require that a hearing be held on a preliminary-injunction motion, and whether a hearing should be held is a matter for the courts discretion. Carbajal v. Warner, 561 F. Appx 759, 764 (10th Cir. 2014); Local Civ. R. 7.1(h) (motion may be decided without oral argument at court's discretion). Once the parties have briefed the motion, the court will decide if a hearing is appropriate. SO ORDERED by Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 12/28/2020. Text Only Entry (dddlc3, )
