Scheduling conferences pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(a) will be held in cases assigned to
Tracks 2 and 3. Rule 16 scheduling conferences may be held at the judge’s discretion in actions
assigned to other tracks. The Court will inform counsel of their obligation to participate in a
conference by issuing an Order Setting Rule 16 Scheduling Conference.
Failure to comply with the order may result in the imposition of sanctions by the Court,
including but not limited to dismissal of the action, entry of a default judgment, or restrictions
on the admissibility of certain evidence.
