The below are the orders entered after discussion of these issues at that conference. 1.

Stay of responsive pleading obligations: The Court continues the stay of responsive pleading obligations provided for in Section 6(b) of the Court's initial order. 4.

The case caption should indicate whether any filing applies to all cases or list the individual cases to which it should apply. 6.

Hereafter, unless otherwise ordered, neither the clerk's office nor counsel for the parties shall be obligated to provide service copies of any filings or related orders by U.S. Mail or any other means to attorneys who have not registered with the Court's CM/ECF system.
