February 23, 2026
Key EventThe court issued an order saying the proof of service filed by the plaintiff is inadequate because the Federal Express confirmations do not identify the defendants or delivery addresses, and directed the plaintiff to file valid proofs of service that clearly show proper service by February 26, 2026. The order states the court cannot determine from the submitted materials whether defendants have been properly served.
February 9, 2026
Key EventThe court issued a sua sponte order requiring a scheduling conference and imposing concrete procedural deadlines: within 14 days after a defendant files a response the parties must meet and confer on discovery and scheduling and then file a joint conference report (or a Rule 26(f)/Local Rule 16.1(b) plan) within 14 days of that conference. The order also directs the plaintiff to serve the order on any defendant who appears and prescribes formatting, conferral, and extension-motion procedures and use of the court’s scheduling-order template.
