ORDER TO APPEAR AND CONCERNING HEARING REQUIREMENTS

On June 10, 2016, the assigned Magistrate Judge in this action issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court grant summary judgment in favor of all Defendants (the "R&R"). (See ECF #149.) Plaintiff filed timely objections to the R&R (the "Objections").1 (See ECF ## 151, 156.) The Court has reviewed the R&R and the Objections and has outstanding questions regarding Plaintiff's objections to the R&R numbered 1, 2, 5, and 9.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a hearing concerning the Objections at the United States District Court, Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, 231 West Lafayette Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan, 48226, Room 242, at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 17, 2016. The hearing shall be limited to objections 1, 2, 5, and 9. With respect to those objections, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall be prepared to:

1. Objection No. 1: Identify evidence in the record that bears on whether any alleged transfer of code enforcement duties away from Plaintiff amounted to an adverse employment action. 2. Objection No. 2: Identify evidence in the record that the alleged harassment of Plaintiff by Nathan Izydorek was based on a characteristic that is protected under the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act, M.C.L. § 37.2101 et seq. 3. Objection No. 5: Identify evidence in the record from which a jury could find Defendants Adam Tardif or Andy Mileski knowingly made false statements or swore to false information in Plaintiff's misdemeanor appearance ticket or their respective police reports. 4. Objection No. 9: Discuss whether Plaintiff's alleged statement to Defendant Maxwell Garbarino — namely, "I had imparted during my communication with . . . Garbarino that I believed that the inaction of Tardif was retaliatory due to my prior complaint about his conduct in having outside employment and his conduct in incident involving the broken tail light" — is sufficient to show that Defendant Garbarino (1) had knowledge that Plaintiff engaged in conduct protected by the First Amendment, and (2) acted (or failed to act) in retaliation against Plaintiff based on that knowledge. Additionally the parties shall be prepared to identify any other evidence in the record regarding Plaintiff's First Amendment retaliation claim against Defendant Garbarino.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

FootNotes


1. Plaintiff originally filed objections to the R&R on June 24, 2016. (See ECF #151.) Plaintiff then filed an amended set of objections to the R&R in which he corrected errors with the original set of objections he filed with the Court. (See ECF #156.) The Court treats Plaintiff's amended objections as the operative objections in this Order.
