Document filed by Aurora Loan Servicing, LLC, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., Nationstar Mortgage, LLC.(Chirch, Laurence)
August 23, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ORDER terminating #10 Letter Motion for Conference; denying #20 Letter Motion for Conference. Denied. As counsel rightly notes, this Court does not require a pre-motion conference in advance of motions to dismiss. Because this matter is referred to Magistrate Judge Pitman for general pretrial supervision, the Court believes Judge Pitman is best situated to set a briefing schedule for any motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the Court declines to set a schedule at this time. In the event one or more motions to dismiss are filed, the Court anticipates that it will refer consideration of such a motion to Judge Pitman. The parties are therefore directed to address any concerns as to the scheduling of a motion to dismiss to Judge Pitman. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 8/23/2018) (anc)
