November 1, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 22 ORDER Canceling Scheduling Conference. On October 25, 2024, the parties submitted a proposed scheduling order to the Magistrate Judge's chambers in compliance with the Initial Order Regarding Planning and Scheduling. ECF No. 12. However, the proposed scheduling order was prepared without the input of Third-Party Defendant Trevor Franzen. According to the docket, summons was issued as to Mr. Franzen on October 31, 2024. Because Mr. Franzen has not had an opportunity to participate in the creation of the proposed scheduling order, the Court suspends the scheduling conference set for November 6, 2024. Within seven calendar days of the date when Mr. Franzen appears in this case, the parties are directed to submit a revised proposed scheduling order and a redline version to the Magistrate Judge's chambers in accordance with the instructions set out in the #12 Initial Order. The Court will reset a scheduling conference after receiving the parties' proposed scheduling order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Rachel E. Schwartz on 24-1153. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY.
