IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Plaintiff may file a separate Request/Motion For Rule
7.4(d) Sanctions no later than 10 days from the filing date of this Minute Entry.
In the Partial Joint Report, Plaintiff requests a Rule 16(d) scheduling conference with no

no cause shown to hold a scheduling conference.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED denying the Request for a Rule 16(d) Scheduling Conference.

PLEASE NOTE: This Division requires that all motions, responses, replies and other
Court filings in this case must be submitted individually. Counsel shall not combine any motion
with a responsive pleading. All motions are to be filed separately and designated as such. No filing
will be accepted if filed in combination with another. Additionally, all filings shall be fully
self-contained and shall not “incorporate by reference” other separate filings for review and
consideration as part of the pending filing.

Order 2020-79 requires all individuals entering a Court facility to wear a mask or face covering at
all times while they are in the Court facility. With limited exceptions, the Court will not provide
masks or face coverings. Therefore, any individual attempting to enter the Court facility must have
an appropriate mask or face covering to be allowed entry to the Court facility. Any person who
refuses to wear a mask or face covering as directed will be denied entrance to the Court facility or
asked to leave. In addition, all individuals entering a Court facility will be subject to a health

JUDGE MAHONEY
ORDER ENTERED BY COURT
The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s Partial Joint Report, filed 2/25/21. By “Partial,” Plaintiff
means that it is not a Joint Report from the parties but is instead a unilateral Report from only
Plaintiff as Plaintiff advises that Defendants were uncooperative in filing a Joint Report as required
by Rule 16(c). See Partial Report, page 1, first paragraph. Plaintiff in fact seeks sanctions against
Defendants for their reported refusal to cooperate as required under Rule 16(c). Defendants are
cautioned to comply with the Rules of Civil Procedure to avoid unfavorable consequences.
IT IS ORDERED rejecting Plaintiff’s Partial Joint Report, filed 2/25/21, as non-compliant
with the requirement in Rule 16(c)(3)(J) that the proposed Scheduling Order “must specify” a
deadline for “filing dispositive motions” “by calendar date, month, and year.” The proposed Order
is altogether silent as to dispositive motions.

The Court further notes that in ¶ 5, Plaintiff states “The Parties shall participate in a
settlement conference conducted by a judge pro tempore not later than April 26, 2021.” Counsel
may not be aware that a referral to the Court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution office for the
assignment of a Judge Pro Tempore to conduct a settlement conference requires a minimum of 90
days between the date of the referral and the deadline to hold the settlement conference.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Defendants shall immediately contact Plaintiff’s counsel
to contribute to, and compete, the to-be-filed Revised Joint Report, failing which the Court will
entertain and act on the filing received, even if it is unilateral.

ATTENTION SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS: Unless an attorney files a notice
that he or she represents a party, the person(s) not represented by an attorney will act as his or her
own attorney. The law requires the Court to hold all persons representing themselves to the
same standard as a licensed attorney. Kelly v. NationsBanc Mortgage Corp., 199 Ariz. 284,
287 (App. 2001); Homecraft Corp. v. Fimbres, 119 Ariz. 299, 301 (App. 1978). Self-represented
litigants are encouraged to review and become familiar with the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure,
paying particular attention to Rule 26. Please note that only a licensed attorney may represent
a corporation, LLC, or similar business entity in the Superior Court. Ramada Inns v. Lane &

Before the Judge can consider anything you send her, you must show her that you have
given a copy of your request:
1. To the Clerk of the Court. The Clerk of the Court is a separately elected official. It is
the Clerk’s job to keep an independent record of everything that happens at the Court.
The Court cannot act on a document that has not been made a part of that record; and
2. To every other party involved in the case. This allows all parties a fair chance to tell the
Judge what they think before the Judge makes a decision.
Because of that, if you want the Judge to consider something you send her, you must file
the original document with the Clerk of the Superior Court, mail or deliver a copy directly to this
Division (that is, to the Judge, using her specific courtroom address), and mail or deliver a copy to
all opposing parties. In addition, on each document, you must include a signed certificate that says
whether you mailed or hand-delivered each copy, when you did so, and states the specific people
and the specific addresses to which you mailed or hand-delivered each copy. If a party is
represented by a lawyer, you must send or deliver the copy to the lawyer, not to the party. All
proposed Orders submitted to this Division in hard copy form must include copies of the Order
with self-addressed, stamped envelopes for all parties/counsel.
Do not mail or send papers for the Clerk or other parties to the Judge.

If you are not represented by a lawyer, you must keep the Court updated regarding your
current address and telephone number. If your address or phone number changes at any time, you
must file a notice of change of address/phone number with the Clerk of Court. That form (general
form – GN91f – Update Information on Address and/or Name with the Court) can be downloaded
