STIPULATION and [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL STATUS CONFERENCE AND JOINT SCHEDULING REPORT

GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.

This is a Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA") medical malpractice action. The Complaint in this matter was filed May 21, 2014. (Dkt. No. 1). The Court dismissed Plaintiff's claim with leave to amend on November 20, 2014 (Dkt. No. 15). Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 17, 2015. (Dkt. No. 22). After vacating previous dates, the Court also set a status conference on March 23, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., and ordered a joint status report to be filed fourteen (14) days before the status conference. (Dkt. No. 20).1 On March 2, 2015, the United States filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 23), which is set for March 30, 2015.

Given the dispositive nature of the motion, the parties agree that it would be more efficient for the Court to resolve the pending motion to dismiss before setting a schedule or engaging in other proceedings, and that the initial scheduling conference and Joint Status Report should be continued until after such resolution. Therefore, the parties stipulate to continue the status conference to a date approximately 21 days after the motion to dismiss is resolved. The pretrial scheduling conference is rescheduled for June 22, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. a joint status report shall be filed fourteen days prior to the hearing.

PROPOSED ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
