ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION CONFERENCE PRIOR TO THE FILING OF AN ANSWER [ECF No. 8]

On December 15, 2017, Plaintiff Machelle Cardenas ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint in the instant action. (ECF No. 1.) Defendants have yet to appear in the matter. (See docket.) On, January 31, 2018, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting an early neutral evaluation pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16.1(c)(1), which permits counsel for any party to make a request in writing to hold an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference after the filing of a complaint and before an answer has been filed. (ECF No. 8.) However, Plaintiff has provided no basis for why the Court should set an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference prior to a defendant's filing of an answer in this matter. (See ECF No. 8 [merely quoting CivLR 16.1(c)(1)].)

Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion (ECF No. 8) is DENIED without prejudice. The Court will set an Early Neutral Evaluation Conference in due course once an answer is filed in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
