v. ACTION SHOULD NOT BE
DISMISSED
GOLD TOUCH INVESTMENT SPE, LLC, et al., 12 Defendants.
13 Plaintiff Scott Johnson filed the present action on September 25, 2018. Dkt. No. 1. Pursuant to the Court’s February 27, 2019 order, Mr. Johnson’s last day to file an administrative motion requesting a case management conference was seven days after the mediation. Dkt. No. 24. According to the docket entry dated April 24, 2019, the parties’ deadline to complete mediation was July 22, 2019.
