October 15, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 8 PAPERLESS ORDER denying as moot #7 Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion to Extend Deadline of the Scheduling Conference and Joint Scheduling Report. Plaintiff requests the Scheduling Conference set for today, October 15, 2020, be reset on or after November 15, 2020, because Defendant has yet to be served, has not entered an appearance, and the parties are actively discussing resolution of this matter. While the Court agrees that there is no use in conducting a unilateral Scheduling Conference, given the trial date set in this matter, the Court cannot delay entering a Scheduling Order until after November 15. Accordingly, the Scheduling Conference currently set for today, October 15, 2020 is VACATED and contemporaneous with this Order, the Court issues the Scheduling Order setting all pre-trial deadlines in this matter. Should the parties require relief from these deadlines in the future, they must request so by motion to the court. Signed by Magistrate Judge Shaniek M. Maynard on 10/15/2020. (ggr)
