The plaintiff in a wrongful dismissal action requested a case conference to schedule examinations for discovery and mediation, citing unresponsiveness from the defendant's counsel.
The court found the request premature and inappropriate, as the plaintiff had not yet delivered a sworn Affidavit of Documents or a Notice of Examination for Discovery.
The court declined to schedule the discoveries, directed the parties to utilize the Rules of Civil Procedure, and awarded $250 in costs to the defendant for the unnecessary case conference.
