WOW! NO ATTEMPT MADE TO CONFER.
“ If a conference was not held, the certificate must explain why it was not possible to confer, in which event the motion will be presumed to be opposed.” Valderas v. City of Lubbock, 937 F.3d 384, 391 n.11 (5th Cir. 2019)
CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE
The undersigned certifies that no Defendants have filed an answer and/or otherwise appeared in this action. Therefore, a certificate of conference is not necessary.

That’s wrong, especially since you’re dealing with pro se litigants ages from as young as 21 years old. It was possible to confer. You have to try and reach out to them. The rule does not say ‘it is not necessary’.
Plaintiff HSBC Bank USA, National Association as Trustee for Mastr Reperforming Loan Trust 2005-2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (“Plaintiff”) files this Motion to Cancel Initial Scheduling Conference Hearing, and respectfully shows as follows:
1. On March 17, 2020, Plaintiff filed its Original Complaint against Defendants Jessica Kelly, Kiersten Kelly and Clayton Kelly (“Defendants”) seeking and order for foreclosure on the real property and improvements commonly known as 15818 Oakendell Drive, Houston, TX 77084 (“Property”) due to an event of default on the subject loan. (ECF Doc. No. 1)
2. Plaintiff completed service on Defendants Clayton Kelly and Kiersten Kelly on July 28, 2020. (ECF Nos. 11 and 12.) Plaintiff completed service on Defendant Jessica Kelly on July 31, 2020. (ECF no. 10.) Defendants have not answered or otherwise appeared in this action. On October 29, 2020, Plaintiff sought an entry of default from the Clerk and a default judgment against all Defendants. (ECF Doc. Nos. 13 and 14.)
3. On April 12, 2021, this Court entered an order abating this case until May 24, 2021, upon Plaintiff’s request. Per the order, upon expiration of the abatement period, the case would be reinstated automatically without further order from the Court. (ECF No. 25.)
4. The abatement period has expired and now this case is considered automatically reinstated. Default has been entered against Defendants, but Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment remains pending adjudication from this Court. (ECF Doc. No. 27.) This matter is currently set for an initial scheduling conference on August 11, 2021 (ECF Doc. No. 28.)
5. In light of Defendants’ failure to appear, Plaintiff is not able to confer with them or prepare a Joint Discovery Plan. Further, if the Court eventually grants Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment, the need for a Joint Discovery Plan will be moot.
6. Accordingly, for the reasons stated above and since Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment against Defendants is still currently under consideration of the Court, Plaintiff requests that the Court cancel the referenced setting until the Court evaluates Plaintiff’s request for default.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court cancel the initial scheduling conference scheduled for August 11, 2021 and to grant Plaintiff any other relief at law or in equity to which Plaintiff is entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
