Filing 150
ORDER re #147 Objections filed by JOEL SNIDER. Plaintiff is objecting to the requirement in the Court's scheduling order that he submit all discovery requests to the Court for approval. The Court will treat this as a motion for reconsideration of its scheduling order and deny it for the following reasons. The undersigned has a significant number of pro se filed cases and enters this exact order in all of them. Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure commands the "just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding." In addition, a district court possesses inherent powers that are governed not by rule or statute but by the control necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases. Dietz v. Bouldin, 136 S.Ct. 1885, 1891 (2016) citing Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630631 (1962). This is the method the Court finds most effective in managing its pro se docket to achieve the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of the action. Therefore, Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration of the Case Management Order is DENIED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan on 1/15/21. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter. (Lenihan, Lisa)
