A case conference was held to schedule the defendants' motion for summary judgment.

The self-represented plaintiff failed to attend the case conference and had blocked emails from the court.

The case management judge established a timetable for the summary judgment motion and ordered that the defendants serve their materials on the plaintiff by personal service.

The self-represented plaintiff failed to attend a scheduled videoconference motion.

The court adjourned the motions and ordered the plaintiff to pay $500 in costs for the missed appearance.

The court also noted that under Rule 15.01, the minor plaintiff must be represented by a lawyer, and directed the plaintiff to either retain counsel or properly move to discontinue the minor's claim.

At a case management conference, the self-represented plaintiff and the defendants sought to schedule several motions.

The plaintiff intended to bring motions to set aside the appointment of the case management judge, amend the statement of claim, and compel production of documents.

The defendants intended to bring a motion to dispense with mediation.

The court established a timetable for the motions to be heard and noted preliminary issues regarding the representation of a minor plaintiff.
