Judicial Survey Questions
Return To PreviousDLC Q21: If the case involves a pro se litigant, do you typically have any different practices in regard to scheduling conferences, status conferences or discovery matters?
DLC A21: With respect to the scheduling conference, I do look at the parties' proposed plan to satisfy myself that it appears to be fair to both parties, but I otherwise do not handle conferences or discovery matters any differently. That being said, I do inform pro se litigants that they are expected to comply with all pertinent federal and local rules, and try to be mindful to make sure that whatever I say or write is clear to all.
