PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE

Local Civil Rule 16.2 is necessary because Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(1) requires a local rule in

order to confer upon Magistrate Judges the power to issue or modify scheduling orders.

The Committee recommends that the language of the rule be simplified, and that it be

applicable to all cases in which a case has been referred to a Magistrate Judge.
