Notice of Judge Assignment

Summons Issued

ORDER denying as premature and without prejudice 3 Motion to Expedite Rule 16 Pretrial Conference & 4 Motion to Expedite Briefing. Although summonses were issued for all Defendants on December 16, 2022, neither the docket nor Plaintiffs' motions reflect that Plaintiffs have served any Defendant in this lawsuit or that any Defendant has appeared in this lawsuit. Despite this lack of service and appearance, Plaintiffs' motion to expedite asks the Court to order expedited briefing from entities that have neither been served nor appeared in this litigation. While Plaintiffs' cited cases stand for the proposition that the Court has inherent power to control its docket, none of the cases hold that the Court can or should order expedited briefing or conduct a Rule 16 Conference before any defendant has been served or appeared. Plaintiffs' motions are denied as premature and without prejudice to refile, as appropriate. Signed by Magistrate Judge Rachel E. Schwartz on 12/19/2022. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY.
