The initial conference is rescheduled to February 16, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., by telephone. All counsel shall call the AT&T Teleconference Center at (877) 810-9415 at the time of the conference and enter Access Code 9005911 when prompted. Plaintiff's counsel is hereby advised that failure to appear for the initial conference a second time may result in a recommendation to the District Court that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff's counsel is also reminded of his obligation to serve Defendant with a copy of the Summons and Complaint herein in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Anne Y. Shields on 1/30/2023. (DM)
