September 15, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 20 PAPERLESS ORDER directing the parties to file their joint discovery plan and conference report. Previously, the Court issued #13 its Order Requiring Discovery and Scheduling Conference, which, for cases that, like this one, were removed from state court, requires the parties to file a joint discovery plan and conference report, as set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f)(3) and Local Rule 16.1(b)(2), within 35 days of the date of the Order. The Order was entered on August 2, 2023, making the parties' joint discovery plan and conference report due on September 6, 2023.
