PRETRIAL ORDER (JURY)
EDWARD J. DAVILA, District Judge.
The above-entitled action is scheduled for a Trial Setting Conference on August 2, 2018. Based on the parties' Joint Trial Setting Conference Statement, the court has determined an appearance is unnecessary at this time. Accordingly, the Trial Setting Conference is VACATED and the parties are ordered to comply with the following schedule.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is REFERRED to Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins for a settlement conference to occur within 60 days of the date the court files a ruling on anticipated dispositive motions. The parties shall contact Judge Cousins' Courtroom Deputy to schedule the conference within five days of the date the court files a ruling on anticipated dispositive motions.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, at least at this time, the court declines Defendant's request to order Plaintiff "to provide her portions of all jointly filed documents to Defendant before filing and also that Defendant may electronically file completed joint documents." However, the court may make appropriate orders on this topic in advance of trial according to the circumstances. Moreover, the court observes that for Case Management Conferences like the one scheduled below, Civil Local Rule 16-9(a) permits the filing of separate statements when one party is self-represented.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in light of (1) the undersigned's requirement for cross-motions for summary judgment, and (2) the parties' representations they each intend to file a dispositive motion, the parties shall present their motions in the following order:
a. Defendant shall file the initial motion;
b. Plaintiff shall file a combined Opposition/Cross-Motion according to § IV(C) of the Standing Order for Civil Cases;
c. Defendant shall file a combined Reply/Opposition according to § IV(C) of the Standing Order for Civil Cases;
