Initial Status Conference
Upon assignment of cases by consent or referral to Magistrate Judge Schenkier, an initial status conference generally will be set by means of a minute order.
The Court will set discovery schedules, briefing schedules, and other deadlines and timetables at the initial status conference. Accordingly, the lead trial counsel for each party, or an attorney with substantial familiarity with and responsibility for the case, shall appear at the initial status conference and be prepared to discuss all aspects of the case.
