16-cv-03113-0003 16-cv-03113-0002 The Collins Plaintiffs asked the Clerk to issue summonses yesterday (see Doc. 2 attached to this e-mail message), and the Clerk did so today according to the Court docket.

The Honorable Nancy F. Atlas has been assigned to this case.  At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Friedman_Atlas is Wikipedia’s bio of Judge Atlas.

Judge Atlas entered an Order (Doc. 3 attached to this e-mail message) this afternoon directing the parties to appear for a pretrial conference at 1:30 p.m. on Tues., Jan. 3, 2017, in Houston, to argue any then-pending pretrial motions (e.g., FHFA’s predictable substitution motion, FHFA and Treasury’s predictable motions to dismiss, and any other clever pretrial motions).
