RULE 26(F) ORDER

The parties are hereby reminded of the obligation,

imposed by Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, to confer and to develop a proposed discovery

plan. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Rule 26(f)

report containing the discovery plan shall be filed as

soon as practicable but not later than January 30, 2009.

The longstanding practice in this district is that

dispositive motions shall be filed no later than 90 days

prior to the pretrial date. If the parties seek to vary

from that schedule, they should present, in the plan,

specific case-related reasons for the requested variance.

In their Rule 26(f) report, however, the parties should

assume that the 90-day requirement will apply.

This case will be set for trial before the

undersigned judge during one of that judge's regularly

scheduled civil trial terms, within 7 to 10 months of

this order if a term is available and, if not available,

then as soon as possible thereafter. The pretrial date

is normally set within four to six weeks of a scheduled

trial term. The dates of each judge's civil trial terms

are available on the court's website located at

http://www.almd.uscourts.gov.

The court may or may not hold a scheduling conference

before issuing a scheduling order. If the court holds a

scheduling conference, counsel may participate in the

scheduling conference by conference call.

judges of this court. The uniform scheduling order is

also available on the court's website.

The report of the parties should comply with Form 52

of the Appendix of Forms to the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure.
