ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO MODIFY THE COURT'S SCHEDULING ORDER
(Doc. 69)
JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.
Defendant filed a motion to amend the case schedule to allow time to depose the plaintiff and corresponding later dates. (Doc. 69) The defendants seek the case amendments due to the fact that new counsel has taken over the file and the discovery needs identified by the new attorney. Id. at 8-10. The Court ordered the plaintiff to respond to the motion (Doc. 72), but has not done so. Indeed, the order that the Court mailed to the plaintiff has been returned by the United States Postal Service because he is no longer at the address he had previously provided.1 Therefore, because the Court sees no prejudice to the plaintiff in light of what appears to be his abandonment of this case, the Court ORDERS the case schedule to be amended as follows:
1. Non-expert discovery is reopened for the purpose of taking the deposition of the plaintiff. The deposition SHALL be completed no later than March 9, 2018;
a. Non dispositive motions SHALL be filed no later than March 23, 2018 and heard no later than April 20, 2018;
b. Dispositive motions SHALL be filed no later than May 11, 2018 and heard no later than June 22, 2018;
c. The pretrial conference is continued to July 17, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.;
d. The trial is continued to September 10, 2018 at 8:30 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. Plaintiff must file his change of address no later than March 19, 2018. Failure to do so will result in the Court dismissing the action.
