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 October 6, 2015. There will 

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

disclosures and discovery responses 28 days before the fact discovery cutoff date.

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 ofthe author; 

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

3. The date the document was prepared and, if different, the date(s)
