ROBERT W. LEHRBURGER, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.

On November 18, 2019, the Court held a Case Management Conference to discuss Plaintiff Elias A. Workneh's ongoing failures to comply with this Court's prior discovery orders. The date for the Conference was set after extensive consultation with the Court's staff and with Plaintiff's direct input to ensure his availability for an in-person conference. A Case Management Conference Order was entered on October 21, 2019 and mailed to Plaintiff reflecting the agreed-upon November 18, 2019 date. (Dkt. 228.) Plaintiff nevertheless failed to appear without Court approval or adjournment. Counsel for Defendants Super Shuttle International Inc., et al. appeared as scheduled.

The Court was able to reach Plaintiff telephonically to hold the conference and addressed Plaintiff's failure to appear, as well as his ongoing failure to comply with multiple prior orders of this Court regarding his discovery obligations. Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff shall execute the necessary HIPPA authorization and release form previously provided by Defendants with respect to his dental records and transmit it to Defendants' counsel via both email and regular mail by November 28, 2019. The HIPPA authorization and release shall cover all dental records in the period of June 1, 2013 to August 14, 2013.

2. Plaintiff shall cooperate with Defendants' counsel in scheduling the continuation of Plaintiff's deposition. Such deposition shall occur within 30 days of Defendants' counsel receiving the necessary dental records following response to their subpoena for the same. Plaintiff's continued deposition shall be completed no later than January 31, 2020.

3. The deadline for the parties to file motions for summary judgment shall be March 1, 2020.

4. Failure to comply with the terms of this Order will result in sanctions, including a recommendation that this case be dismissed with prejudice.
