July 17, 2017 Filing 26 MEMORANDUM Order: On July 11, 2017 this Court issued its memorandum order dealing with the effort by Jeffrey Martensen ("Martensen") to revisit this Court's dismissal of his Complaint and this action. Meanwhile his counsel has filed a motion to withdraw from his representation pursuant to this District Court's LR 83.17. This Court grants that motion, for it consistently views such motions (whether initiated by a lawyer or by a dissatisfied client) as the equivalent of no-fault divorce, for in either event it would be inappropriate to compel the two to be linked together. Accordingly Martensen must proceed pro se unless he promptly retains replacement counsel. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 7/17/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )
July 11, 2017 Filing 25 MEMORANDUM Order: After this Court dismissed the Complaint and this action, brought by Jeffrey Martensen ("Martensen") under the section of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Act") prohibiting retaliatory conduct, because Martensen did not qualify as a "whistleblower" as defined by the Act, Martensen filed a motion to vacate the dismissal order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. ("Rule") 60(b) and a motion for leave to amend the Complaint pursuant to Rule 15(a) (Dkt. No. 21) but two days later (on July 5) Martensen's counsel filed a motion to withdraw pursuant to this District Court's LR 83.17 (Dkt. No. 22) together with an affidavit in support of that motion (Dkt. No. 23) that cast critical doubt on what Martensen is now seeking to do. In part Martensen has now asserted that he indeed a "statutory whistleblower" because he assertedly had "prior contact with the SEC, which included contact via the SEC website and in person discussions" but he has not provided a "proposed amendment to the complaint detailing plaintiff's prior interaction with SEC." Accordingly this Court is not in a position to rule on Martensen's current Dkt. No. 21 motion without Martensen's submission of his proposed amended complaint. Hence he is ordered to submit that proposed amended complaint on or before July 31, 2017, failing which his current motion must be denied. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 7/11/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )

March 15, 2017 Filing 6 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Milton I. Shadur: This is the initial scheduling order entered by this Court after the filing of the Complaint. Counsel for plaintiff are ordered to cause a copy of this order to be delivered forthwith to defendant in the same manner that process has been or is being served on defendant. There will be a status hearing--a "scheduling conference", as that term is used in attached Fed. R. Civ. P. ("Rule") 16(b), at 9:00 a.m. on April 24, 2017. If defendant has been served with process or has appeared at least 28 days before that Status Hearing Date, counsel for both parties are ordered to meet not later than 14 days before the Status Hearing Date to comply with the provisions of Rules 26(f) and 26(a) (c) and this District Court's LR 26.1 Counsel for the parties are urged to undertake serious settlement efforts before the scheduled Status Hearing when no major investment in counsel's time (and clients' money) has yet taken place. If such efforts are unsuccessful, counsel should be prepared to attend the scheduled Status Hearing to discuss briefly their proposed discovery plan and other subjects appropriate for inclusion in the scheduling order as referred to in Rule 16(b). No written status report is to be filed. Although this Court will not set a close-of-discovery scheduling order until both sides have a good sense of the time needed for that purpose, the parties are urged to join in setting their own target dates in that respect at their initial Rule 26(f) conference and to review those target dates regularly during the discovery process. If any party is unrepresented by counsel, that party must comply with this order personally. Mailed notice (clw, )
