ORDER
LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge.
WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for January 30, 2020;
WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties' joint letter or proposed case management plan; it is hereby
ORDERED that the January 30, 2020, initial pretrial conference is CANCELLED. If the parties believe that a conference would nevertheless be useful, they should inform the court immediately so the conference can be reinstated. The case management plan and scheduling order will issue in a separate order. The parties' attention is particularly directed to the provisions for periodic status letters, and the need for a pre-motion letter to avoid cancellation of the final conference and setting of a trial date. It is further
ORDERED that if Defendant(s) seek to file a motion to dismiss, they shall file a pre-motion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further
ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, if and when the parties are ready to proceed with a settlement conference with the assigned Magistrate Judge or mediation in the Court's mediation program, they shall file a joint letter on ECF requesting a referral.
The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances.
