April 3, 2026 Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The April 7, 2026, scheduling conference is stricken. The Court has reviewed the parties' Rule 26(f) report and entered a scheduling order. The Court notes that the fact and expert discovery periods the parties' proposed were to long. This case concerns a motor vehicle collision that occurred in February 2024, which indicates straightforward fact discovery from a limited number of witnesses. The parties proposed eight months for fact discovery, followed by another eight months for expert discovery. A year and a half of discovery for a collision involving the plaintiff and defendant Nelson is excessive. Mailed notice. (vcf, )
