He stated that he was going to try to talk to counsel for defendant and work something out so he could get me his submission some time today. Even that only came in the wake of a telephone call to the defendant's lawyer and the order entered earlier this morning canceling the conference as a consequence of Mr. Valley's noncompliance with the most minimal demand of any settlement conference, namely a demand. Counsel is reminded that in the Seventh Circuit deadlines count. See Spears v. City of Indianapolis, 74 F.3d 153, 157 (7th Cir.1996) (we live in a world of deadlines...the practice of law is no exception... when parties wait until the last minute to comply with a deadline, they are playing with fire). And the Seventh Circuit has repeatedly warned that ignoring deadlines is the surest way to lose a case. United States v. Golden Elevator, Inc., 27 F.3d 301, 302 (7th Cir.1994); see also Harris v. OwensCorning Fiberglass Corp., 102 F.3d 1429, 1433 (7th Cir. 1996). See also Raymond v. Ameritech Corp., 442 F.3d 600 (7th Cir. 2006); Milam v. Dominick's Finer Foods, Inc., 567 F.3d 830, 831 (7th Cir. 2009); Gross v. Town of Cicero, 528 F.3d 498, 499500 (7th Cir. 2008). As the court said in Golden Elevator, "[l]awyers and litigants who decide that they will play by rules of their own invention will find that the game cannot be won."Mailed notice (jms, ) (Entered: 06/10/2013)" @default.
