April 17, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 24 DOCKET TEXT ORDER: The time for service under Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure has passed, but no proof of service of Defendant Kim Chapman has been filed. The waiver of service #10 filed January 27, 2026, does not waive service for Ms. Chapman. Within fourteen days, Plaintiff must file either: 1) proof of timely and proper service upon Ms. Chapman, or 2) a document setting forth good cause for failure to timely serve Ms. Chapman, and describing any steps taken to serve her.

April 14, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 23 DOCKET TEXT ORDER denying #21 Plaintiff's Motion to Waive Local Counsel Requirement Set Forth in DUCivR 83-1.1(2)(C). Plaintiff seeks to waive the local rules' requirement that "[l]ocal counsel must be present when the attorney admitted pro hac vice appears in court, unless the court orders otherwise." DUCivR 83-1.1(c)(2)(C). She argues this requirement imposes an unnecessary burden and expense. But the expense of compensating local counsel does not excuse Plaintiff from complying with the local rules, nor does it justify an order prospectively excusing local counsel from all future court appearances in this case. Accordingly, the motion is denied. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg on 4/14/2026. No attached document. (med)
