ORDERED THAT pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16, the following case management and pretrial 

order is entered: 

1. TRIAL DATE 

a. Jury trial will begin on July 11, 2017 at 8:30 A.M. in Courtroom E, 15th 

Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. Should a daily transcript and/or

who will provide opinion testimony beyond that which can be provided by a lay person must be 

disclosed as expert witnesses, but they need not prepare expert reports unless ordered to do so by 

the Court. 

c. All expert discovery shall be completed no later than April 25, 2017. There 

will be no further expert discovery after that date except by order of the Court for good cause 

shown. Motions to compel expert discovery must be filed within the time limits contained in Civil 

Local Rule 26-2. 

d. Rule 26(e)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires all parties to 

supplement or correct their initial disclosures, expert disclosures, pretrial disclosures, and 

responses to discovery requests under the circumstances itemized in that Rule, and when ordered 

by the Court. The Court expects that the parties will supplement and/or correct their disclosures 

promptly when required under that Rule, without the need for a request from opposing counsel. 

In addition to the general requirements of Rule 26(e)(1), the parties will supplement and/or 

correct all previously made disclosures and discovery responses 28 days before the fact 

discovery cutoff date.

e. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 37-1(b), telephone conferences are available to 

resolve disputes during a discovery event, such as a deposition, where the resolution during the 

event likely would result in substantial savings of expense or time. 

f. Privilege logs. If a party withholds information that is responsive to a 

discovery request, and is otherwise discoverable under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, by 

claiming that it is privileged, or protected from discovery under the attorney work product doctrine 

or any other protective doctrine (including, but not limited to, privacy rights), that party shall 

prepare a "privilege log" (Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)) setting forth the privilege relied upon and 

specifying separately for each document or for each category of similarly situated documents: 

1. The name and job title or capacity of the author; 

2. The name and job title or capacity of each recipient;

author(s);

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, all parties shall affirmatively state in a written response served 

on all other parties the full extent to which they will produce materials and shall, promptly after

locatable after a diligent search of all locations at which such materials might plausibly exist.
