JUDGE BACHUS
MINUTE ENTRY
The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Rule 16(b) Report, filed February 4, 2022, which
indicates the other party (Defendant Dorothy Schulte) is unresponsive. The Court will set a Rule
16 conference to discuss scheduling in this matter. Further, the Court reminds all parties of their
obligations to comply with the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, to include Rule 16. Rule 16
requires the parties to conduct an Early Meeting and file with this Court a proposed scheduling
order. Failure to comply with the Rules may result in sanctions. At the Rule 16 conference, the
Court will expect to hear good cause why the parties failed to hold an Early Meeting and file
their proposed scheduling order. If the parties conduct the Early Meeting and file with the Court
the proposed scheduling order no less than five business days before the Rule 16 hearing, the
hearing will be vacated.
IT IS ORDERED setting a Rule 16 Scheduling Conference on March 10, 2022 at 9:00
a.m. (time allotted: 15 minutes) in this Division.
Counsel and any unrepresented parties shall appear by videoconference through Court
Connect for this conference.

LET THE RECORD REFLECT that Plaintiff is objecting to Defendant’s request for a

9:24 a.m. Matter concludes.
Self-Represented Litigant Advisory
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. Bloch v. Bentfield, 1 Ariz. App. 412, 417 (1965)
(“When one undertakes to represent himself that person is ‘entitled to no more
consideration than if’ he ‘had been represented by counsel.’ He is ‘held to the same
notice of statutes of local rules as would be attributed to a duly qualified member of the
bar. Such a rule is indispensable to the orderly and efficient administration of justice.’”)
(quoting Smith v. Rabb, 95 Ariz. 49, 53 (1963)); Maher v. Uhlman, 211 Ariz. 543, 551
(App. 2005) (“That [a party] was unrepresented did not excuse him from his burden to
diligently adhere to the court’s rules.”) (citing Homecraft Corp. v. Fimbres, 119 Ariz.
299, 301 (App. 1978)).
Self-represented litigants are encouraged to review 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 & Bird
Advertising, 102 Ariz. 127, 426 P.2d 395 (1967).
You may not file motions or request for relief on behalf of another self-represented party.
Bloch, 1 Ariz.App at 417 (self-represented parties may not represent other self-
represented parties) (citing Mosher v. Hiner, 62 Ariz. 110, 113-14 (1944)).
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 is so all parties have a fair chance to
tell the judge what they think before she 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 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 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 want to file papers with the Clerk of the Court by mail, send them to:

The Clerk’s guidelines for filing by mail can be found at:

If you are not represented by a lawyer you must contact this Division immediately and
provide a current address, telephone number, and email address. If your address, phone number,
